Santa Heard the News… Breakfast Sold Out! So he’s sliding into town early for a magical lakeside dinner!

Christmas by the Lake: Dinner with Santa

A Festive Feast for the Whole Family on Lake Hopatcong 

The whispers from Lake Hopatcong reached the North Pole… Breakfast with Santa at The Windlass sold out! And when Santa heard how excited everyone was, he decided he just couldn’t wait to visit.

So he’s hopping in his sleigh a little early and making a special stop for a Winter Wonderland dinner on Sunday, December 7th, bringing holiday cheer, twinkling lights, and a hearty appetite!

Families are invited to join us for a festive Italian-inspired dinner buffet, complete with cozy seasonal flavors for adults and all the kid-favorite classics for little elves. Children will have a chance to visit with Santa, tell him their wishes, and take a photo to remember the night.

Pricing: Adults: $38 | Children (ages 5–12): $16 | Children 4 & Under: Free

Date: One night only! December 7, 2025 | 3pm – 9pm, last seating at 7pm.
