Breakfast with Santa events are some of the best holiday events you can go to. Why do you ask?
Because they include three things that it’s impossible to have a bad time while partaking in:
1.) Pancakes
2.) Bacon/Sausage
3.) Santa
Seriously, what else do you need for an awesome morning? Some of these events are completely free, some require reservations, and some will definitely sell out, so start making your plans now.
