11/15/24 - By Jaime Sumersille

Breakfast with Santa is a great way to celebrate the holiday season, and several Long Island venues are serving up the opportunity to hang with St. Nick over pancakes and eggs.

These events allow the whole family to fill their tummies while enjoying a festive atmosphere. Kids can sit on Santa's lap, whisper toy requests in his ear, and snap a photo with the jolly old fellow himself. Be sure to snag reservations early, because some of these Long Island Santa stops fill up fast!

Find all our top picks for holiday fun–including Long Island's best Christmas activities–in our Long Island Christmas Guide. And check out our constantly updated Family Activity Calendar for even more fun things to do.
