In 2025 the city’s announcement listed bacon, fruit and pancakes, plus a free professional photo with Santa. Its report afterward said families also took pictures with “Frozen” characters. The city has not yet said whether characters or professional photos are back for 2026. We will add them here when it does.

Cost
