Breakfast with Santa is available from 9:30 to 11 am. Tickets are $5 for children over five, and $7 for adults. A buffet breakfast will be served. Advance tickets may be purchased through eventbrite.

The Gingerbread Contest and Breakfast with Santa are fundraisers for Christmas Joy 365! The program provides food and gifts at Christmas for about 50 families in the Cape Henlopen School District every year. The local mission also provides year-round financial assistance that pays for personal items such as eyeglasses, diapers, school supplies, and transportation and housing assistance.
The Rehoboth Beach Gingerbread Contest is generously sponsored by Presenting Sponsor, Accent on Travel, CAMP Rehoboth, Coldwell Banker Resort Realty, Cape Gazette, and Snyder’s Candy of Rehoboth.
