Breakfast, Brunch + Dinner with Santa! He must get really full during holiday visits to the Seacoast!

09 Dec 2022

Looking to break bread with ol’ St. Nick? There are so many opportunities to have a meal with the jolly old soul this month all around the seacoast. Sometimes the Mrs., and/or the Grinch will be there to see too! Perhaps it’s a simple pastry breakfast at a local school, something fancier at one of the area hotels or a favorite local restaurant is hosting the special visitors. Some establishments don’t require having a meal just come and grab the memento photo opportunity and come back another time to dine. Either way the kids get to eat AND get visit with Santa. Now that’s holiday multitasking at its best.

*We are continuously updating the list of area brunches and eats with holiday fun for families, please check back often! If you know of any that aren’t on our list, please leave it in the comments below.
