Top Tips for a Fun Experience Eating Breakfast with Santa
Plan now which events to attend – Use our list below to choose the breakfast with Santa event(s) you want to attend and block the date in your calendar now. That way you won’t forget when the day comes.
Purchase tickets ahead of time – Most breakfast and/or meal events are very popular and tickets sell out quickly. Once you choose your favorite event(s), be sure to buy your tickets as soon as possible once they’re available to avoid missing out on your first choice.
Decide ahead of time which activities you want to do – Many of these events include extra activities in addition to meeting Santa and enjoying a delicious breakfast. Once you’ve picked the event(s), be sure to check to see if other activities are included or if there are any you’d like to do that require an extra fee and/or ticket.
Set realistic expectations with your kids – Although Santa will be in attendance, make sure the kids know how much time they will have with Santa. For example, does your event include a presentation by Santa and his elves, an opportunity to sit on his lap and tell him what you want for Christmas, or just a quick visit and a picture? Once you have the details, share them with your children before you go.
Be prepared to eat – Many of the events include a full breakfast, special Christmas treats, and many delicious things to try. Depending on the time of your breakfast or brunch, consider offering the kids a light snack to avoid being overly hungry but be sure to take your appetite.
Arrive early – Or right on time. Holiday events are very popular and breakfast with Santa events usually include a set time and schedule. If you’re late, you might miss some of your favorite activities.
Remember your camera – Make sure your phone is charged or your camera battery is charged to avoid missing the many photo opportunities while enjoying the event.
