While this time of year can be hectic with shopping and preparing big meals, it is also an important time to reflect on the things that truly matter and to give back when you can. The Festival of Trees, which benefits a special cause each year (last year was Special Olympics Minnesota), truly captures the spirit of giving back this holiday season.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Festival of Trees takes the fun and festive experience of admiring holiday decorations and pairs it with storytelling and engagement to bring people together to rally around an important cause. Enjoy a display of more than 50 trees, each decorated by a local organization, company, or sports team. Not only will you adore each uniquely decorated tree, but you will also learn about the featured nonprofit from its own storyboards and volunteers. Indeed, this is one of the best things to do with kids this season at the Mall of America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3
