Breakfast with Santa 2023 at the Coast Hotel (w/ The RIH Foundation and Uptown Chefs) in Kamloops BC

I was so excited when the Coast Hotel Kamloops and Uptown Chefs invited me to photograph the Breakfast with Santa event in 2023! The previous year was such a hit, I knew it would be really fun to photograph the event for a second time. The room was filled with the sounds of laughter and Christmas joy from both the kids and the adults. The event included a ticket to the breakfast, a visit with Santa, and this year they incorporated “passports” for all of the fun things to do while attending the event — the children would go to all of the activity areas and check them off of their passport, trying to fill it up before the morning ended. The activities included face painting, cookie decorating, gingerbread house assembly, a photobooth, hot cocoa station, and MORE!

If you’re looking for an event here in Kamloops during the Christmas season, this is always such a great way to spend a Saturday morning with the whole family. The event raises money for the Royal Inland Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit right here in Kamloops. Plus, the food from Uptown Chefs was SO yummy! It’s a win-win for everyone. Keep an eye out for tickets to the event in 2024!
