Families come in their Christmas pajamas while energetic elf characters run the room and a 'crazy elf pancake flipper' sends pancakes flying from the griddle to diners' plates. Kids then decorate their stacks at a topping bar with over-the-top toppings, whimsical syrups and edible decorations, with Christmas music playing throughout. Breakfast also includes a buffet of scrambled eggs, biscuits and gravy, sausage, bacon and fresh-cut fruit plus one drink, and children get a holiday-themed drink sipper and an elf coloring sheet. It is a good way to burn off some Christmas Eve excitement; reservations are required. ## Similar picks in St. Louis - [Breakfast with Santa at the Gateway Winter Market — Collinsville](https://grassyknees.com/st-louis/activities/breakfast-with-santa-at-the-gateway-winter-market-collinsville--listing-a8fb067823d4e4b85c0f3831) — Sat, Dec 19 · 8:00 AM – 10:00 AM · Gateway Convention Center, Collinsville · From $12 · checked Oct 27.
