Christmas Brunch with Santa on Table Rock Lake
Silver Dollar City’s Showboat (formerly Showboat Branson Belle) hosts special “Santa’s Pancakes and PJs” cruises on select Saturday and Sunday mornings in December. The cruise includes a hearty pancake breakfast, kids activities, live entertainment, and a visit with Santa — all aboard the historic Showboat as it cruises Table Rock Lake.
A 20-minute drive from Roark Creek Resort and one of Branson’s most unique Christmas experiences.
Who It’s For: Families with young children, grandparents, brunch lovers, and anyone wanting a memorable Branson Christmas experience.
What to Expect: A 2-hour cruise on Table Rock Lake, pancake breakfast served onboard, kids’ activities and crafts before boarding, character meet-and-greets, and a visit with Santa during the cruise.
Do’s: Book well in advance (these cruises sell out), wear pajamas with the kids to fit the theme, bring a camera for Santa photos.
Don’ts: Don’t expect last-minute tickets. Don’t be late — the boat departs on time.
