Kids will remember sharing snacks, dinner or breakfast with Santa. One of my favorite Christmas memories is having Breakfast with Santa when I was a child. It was definitely an experience I wanted to share with my daughter. We had breakfast with Santa at Briarwood Mall several times and supper with Santa.
Unfortunately, Briarwood Mall is no longer offering a breakfast with Santa in 2025. But, there are several options to eat with Santa near Ann Arbor throughout Washtenaw County.
Our Experiences with Santa Dining near Ann Arbor
I remember doing breakfast with Santa as a child, so I definitely looked for options when my daughter was a baby. We took my daughter to her first Breakfast with Santa when she was 11 months old. I got a great photo of her staring at Santa from her high chair. Unfortunately, I can’t find my CD drive to share it here.
Dining with Santa is a great, relaxed way to visit Santa. My daughter was always more willing to talk to Santa when he visited our table, or she visited his table. But, Santa sets always intimidated her. I think it felt a bit like being on stage.
Even better, most brunches with Santa near us allow you to bring your own camera to get a picture with Santa
If you are attending Holiday Nights at Greenfield Village, I do recommend their Supper with Santa program. We did it in 2010 when my daughter was 4. She was old enough for Greenfield Village’s Holiday Nights and young enough to enjoy meeting Santa and Mrs Claus. We took a horse drawn carriage ride from the Greenfield Village entrance to Taste of History. We then enjoyed dinner, storytime, and crafts. Then we were able to get this great photo with Santa and Mrs Claus.
Mark your calendar for early November 2025 to book your tickets before it sells out.
