Nine Opportunities for Christmas Breakfast with Santa
Written By Lynn R. Blamires, feature writer for My Local Utah
It is one thing for a child to go to the mall and stand in a long line to see Santa Claus, where he sits in his big chair. It is another thing actually to have breakfast with him. There are many opportunities to have breakfast with this magical persona. Here are some venues around the state offering breakfast with Santa Claus:
A Fairy Tale Breakfast with Santa at the Union Grill in Ogden on December 9th. Santa will be there to have breakfast with your child. Six special guests that children know and love will be there. Elsa, Anna, Olaf, Belle, Moana, and Aurora will perform, tell stories, and mingle with the children. The title of this Fairy Tale Breakfast is Characters and Crowns. The five princesses are the crowns, and Olaf is the character – what a character he is. Children are asked to bring their Christmas lists to present to Santa Claus. Parents will have opportunities to take pictures of their child with Santa. Children are asked to bring a toy to give to Toys for Tots. Their donation enters them into a raffle for fantastic prizes. Fees are $25 per child and $35 for adults, which includes a breakfast of scrambled eggs, applewood smoked bacon, waffles, and side dishes. The fee for a VIP guest is $70, which consists of a grand entrance at 10:00 a.m., a professional portrait by Vallure Photography, seating at the front tables, an autographed ornament, and breakfast.
