About Breakfast with Santa
Breakfast with Santa is a joyful community tradition presented in partnership between the Hyde Park BIA and the Hyde Park Lions Club.
Families are invited to enjoy a free pancake breakfast and celebrate the magic of the season with Santa Claus himself! The morning is filled with festive fun — including photo opportunities with Santa, holiday crafts, storytelling, and special entertainment for all ages.
It’s a wonderful way for children to share their holiday wishes, make lasting memories, and kick off the Christmas season surrounded by family, friends, and community cheer.
Toys for Tots & Teens
This holiday season, we’re proud to support the NorthWest London Resource Centre through our annual Toys for Tots and Teens toy drive!
If you’re attending Breakfast with Santa or the Hyde Park Christmas Market, we invite you to bring a new, unwrapped gift or gift card to help make the holidays brighter for local children and teens.
Gift ideas include:
Gift cards (movies, restaurants, shopping, bowling, rock climbing), cozy items (blankets, socks, skin care sets), creative kits (Lego, baking, embroidery, crafts), books, games, and more.
Donations can be dropped off at Breakfast with Santa.
Your generosity helps spread warmth and joy to families right here in our community.
Letters to Santa
He’s Making a List & Checking it Twice!
Santa’s getting ready for the big day — and he wants to hear from you!
Kids can write and send their Letters to Santa in a few fun ways this year:
Bring your own letter! Click on the letter to download and print your letter template at home.
Write one in person! We’ll have letters and pencil crayons ready at Breakfast with Santa for children to fill out and drop into Santa’s special red mailbox.
Drop it off during the Hyde Park Santa Parade! Our volunteers will be collecting letters along the route.
Every letter makes its way to the North Pole — and if you include your return address, you might even get a letter back from Santa himself!
