Enjoy breakfast with Santa in New York City

What better way to ring in the holiday season than with Santa and a tasty breakfast at sea? Tots can play festive games, watch Christmas movies, dance with St. Nick and gape at the wintry city skyline from the comfort of a heated cabin. Then, when they're ready to refuel, Santa's will serve a breakfast buffet extravaganza with something to please even the pickiest eaters. Stay tuned for announcements about special guests who will be onboard to say hello! All ages.

Little ones should don their best tea-time garb for this stylish holiday event. They'll sip lemonade and holiday teas, munch on fresh fruit kabobs and assorted mini sandwiches and sample sweet treats for dessert, then hear a story from Santa Claus before getting their photo taken with the big man. Reservations required. All ages.

As kids chat with Santa and his elves, nosh on breakfast and go ice-skating in the shade of the Rockefeller Center tree, they may just feel they've been transported to the North Pole. Sit down for a family-style feast, complete with an omelet and crepe station, bagel station, chocolate fountains and sweet treats at the Rock Center Café (7:15am and 9:15am) or The Sea Grill (8:15am). The elves will come by with toys and carolers will provide festive tunes while parents sip bloody marys and mimosas. Admission to the skating rink in included, and youngsters will even get to bypass the line! Reservations required. All ages.
