Want to speak to Santa and Mrs. Claus by phone? Or meet them for pancakes?
James City County and Williamsburg families can do both.
Santa and Mrs. Santa will be speaking to children by phone on Tuesday, Dec. 6 from 5:45 to 8 p.m.
According to a county news release, participants must live in Williamsburg or JCC and be aged nine and younger.
To participate in Santa Calling, register by filling out an online form, which is available here, or by going to one of the payment centers listed below. The deadline is Nov. 29.
The program does not guarantee a specific call time from the North Pole — given the callers’ busy holiday schedule.
For pancakes and a photo-op with the Clauses, head to the James City County Recreation Center, 5301 Longhill Rd., on Dec. 10 from 9 to 11 a.m.
Children aged two and younger are offered free admission; everyone else will be charged $12 per person. Space is limited to 100 people and the deadline for snagging a spot is Friday, Dec. 2.
To reserve a spot at the breakfast, register online or sign up in person at one of the county’s five payment locations:
- James City County Recreation Center, 5301 Longhill Rd.
- Abram Frink Jr. Community Center, 8901 Pocahontas Trail/Grove
