When the days get colder, nights get longer and sweaters and hats begin to make their appearance we know it's time for the holidays in New Hampshire! Start putting up your Christmas decorations and break out those family cookie recipes, 'tis the season. There are so many different ways to celebrate that you might already have a list a mile long. But, if you do have some time to squeeze in another special event make sure it's brunch with Santa Claus in New Hampshire!

Wentworth by the Sea Hotel & Spa in New Castle offers a wonderful New Hampshire escape with tons to do and lovely historic beauty.

The property attracts visitors and locals alike all seasons of the year, like the state itself, it's a multi-seasonal wonderland.

It's popular in the summer among people who want access to the coast and all the outdoor fun there is to enjoy in the state.

But we think it might shine the brightest in the winter!

There's something magical about seeing this historic property all dolled up for the holidays in bright twinkling lights with trees in almost every common space.

That's when the entire place is lit up in twinkling Christmas lights and adorned with trees, garland, and ornaments.

You'll feel like you've been transported into a holiday wonderland. Even if you're not staying at the hotel, stopping by during the holidays is a must.

Don't forget the giant gingerbread houses!

That's right, these life-size decorated tiny houses bring the spirit of the season to life like nothing else.

But what we love most is the annual Winter Wonderland Brunch Buffet with Santa taking place every Sunday leading up to Christmas.

This is a particularly unique way to spend time with Santa Claus, who usually debuts during train rides and at shopping centers.

The food offers a taste of SALT Kitchen & Bar, the onsite restaurant.

Savor classic brunch flavors like eggs Benedict and fluffy pancakes and waffles drizzled in syrup. There's coffee for parents and cocoa for kids, something for everyone.

The experience has historically been available from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and kids (and adults!) will have the chance to meet Santa.

We can't think of a better way to soak up the season in New Hampshire than enjoying brunch with Santa! Be sure to check out the Wentworth website to confirm all the times and dates for this year.

The Winter Wonderland Brunch Buffet with Santa usually takes place every Sunday in December leading up to Christmas. Reservations are required. Details have yet to be confirmed about the 2023 brunch, but feel free to check out the official Wentworth Hotel site for more information. The restaurant can be reached by calling 603-422-7322.
