Video captures ’90s Woodfield Mall nostalgia

Woodfield Mall is arguably one of the most well-known shopping centers in our state. And for those of you who love a good shopping spree like me, brace yourself for a whirlwind of ’90s nostalgia.

I may not have grown up in Illinois, but I love visiting the mall in Schaumberg. With many malls closing today, it is so heartwarming to see a mall still bustling and thriving.

Recently I saw this TikTok that triggered a wave of emotions within me. Not just because of my love for the 90s, but because it’s crazy to see what Woodifeld was like and how much it’s changed.

Yes, Christmas trees can clearly be seen in the video. But oh my god, I want to both raid these people’s closets and go back in time to when it was the annual “Mall Visit To See Santa.”

Woodfield is usually a crazy busy place these days. I can only imagine how many people there must have been when online ordering didn’t exist! I mean, just look at what I’m talking about.

I’m seriously so obsessed with the 90’s so I mean it when I say I love all the clothes people wear here haha!

I know Christmas is a while away, but this video makes me so excited for the holidays. Am I ashamed to say this now? Sure, maybe a little.
