The event on Friday night served over 350 families and provided gifts to more than 1,000 children, ensuring they could feel holiday joy no matter their situation.

"Everybody's just so grateful to be here, but joy just radiates from every parent because most of them... weren't sure they were going to get to give Christmas to their child," Mullins said. "And so to be able to give them not just any gift, but the gift that they asked for, is such an incredible blessing."

The Christmas Miracle Mall's mission focuses on providing gifts to children and families who might otherwise go without during the holiday season. The church's initiative allows parents to give their children the specific presents they requested, creating meaningful Christmas moments for families facing financial hardships.
