Santa Claus Is Coming to the Commons!
A beloved South County holiday tradition is back with festive family fun, magical surprises, and TWO exciting new additions for 2026!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at The Village at South County Commons! Mark your calendars for Saturday, December 5, 2026, because our annual Breakfast with Santa is returning with a morning full of holiday magic, family traditions, and plenty of reasons to believe in the spirit of the season.
From pancakes with Santa and horse-drawn hayrides to festive entertainment, holiday characters, and our famous Christmas raffle, this year's celebration promises something special for every little elf in the family.
And the best part? Nearly all of the holiday fun is FREE!
Pancakes, Santa & a Grand Entrance!
The festivities kick off at 8 AM at Applebee's, where families can enjoy a pancake breakfast for just $4 per person (cash only). It's one of our most popular holiday traditions, so arrive early, bring your appetite, and get ready for a little Christmas cheer!
And keep your eyes on Main Street! Santa will be making his grand arrival aboard a fire truck before heading to All South County Luxury Cinemas, where even more holiday excitement awaits.
Holiday Fun Around Every Corner
Throughout the morning, families can enjoy an incredible lineup of FREE activities, including horse-drawn hayrides, face painting, balloon twisting, caricatures, a holiday photo booth, visits with festive characters, photos with Santa, letters to Santa, holiday coloring stations, a holiday DJ at Audrey's Coffee House & Lounge, and a few extra surprises!
And, of course, our famous Christmas Raffle returns with fantastic prizes for the kids! The drawings begin promptly at 11:15 AM, so be sure to get those entries in early.
NEW for 2026: A Little Extra Christmas Magic!
We're adding two exciting new experiences to this year's festivities!

Sessions will be held at 9:30 AM and 10:30 AM, with just 25 children per session. Advance registration is required, and space is limited!

Doors open at 9:45 AM, and the show begins promptly at 10:15 AM. Seating is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis. No late entry will be permitted once the show begins.
All Aboard The Polar Express!
The Christmas fun continues at 12 noon, when All South County Luxury Cinemas presents a special holiday showing of The Polar Express!
Tickets are just $3 per person, making it the perfect way to wrap up a magical morning with the family. Visit our event calendar for movie ticket updates and additional information.
Giving Back Is Part of the Magic
One of the most meaningful parts of Breakfast with Santa is the opportunity to spread a little extra holiday joy to children in need.
Once again, we'll be collecting new, unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots, helping make the season brighter for local families. Marines will also be on hand to accept monetary donations.
If you're able, please consider bringing a toy and joining us in sharing the true spirit of Christmas.
