Santa is trading the North Pole for the Potomac this holiday season, and he’s saving a seat at the table for families at Ada’s on the River in Old Town Alexandria!

Little ones can bring their biggest Christmas wishes to a festive Breakfast with Santa at this waterfront favorite, where holiday cheer comes with a side of beautiful water views.

On select weekend mornings from December 5-20, 2026, families are invited to enjoy a family-style spread piled high with breakfast pastries, yogurt parfaits, a smoked salmon plate, fluffy pancakes, scrambled eggs, applewood-smoked bacon, sausage, and tater tots. Coffee, tea, juice, and hot chocolate keep everyone cozy, while grown-ups can toast the season with a classic mimosa, bellini, or glass of Prosecco.

After breakfast, meet Santa Claus and take a keepsake photo!

Sessions are limited, so pre-register for Saturday or Sunday, from December 5-20, 2026.
