With our family being somewhat new to the North Texas area, we are always on the lookout for fun activities to add to our yearly family traditions. This year we were so lucky to have been given the opportunity to experience Christmas at the Anatole!

As part of the Santa Suite package, you can experience a VIP meet-n-greet the with Santa, Mrs Claus and a live reindeer the night of check in. This includes a family portrait which our family will treasure for years to come!

During the evening there is plenty to keep the whole family busy. We enjoyed arts and crafts, games and lite bites from the North Pole cafe.

They have plenty of yummy treats! Delicious hot chocolate and even S’mores kits can be purchased to use around the fire pits in the sculpture garden. Plus I can’t forget the naughty and nice cocktails us adults enjoyed were fantastic too! 😜

Ready to relax , we made a quick visit to our room to change in to our pajamas. The kids wrote a very important letter to Santa too. On our way down to the holiday movie night, the kids plopped those in to the mailbox located conveniently in the lobby. This was super exciting for them! ❤️

The holiday movie in the ballroom is set up in a socially distant friendly way with chairs set apart for each family. Pillows and blankets are offered if you want to get cozy, plus complimentary popcorn to snack on! For purchase they have some festive glow toys and many sweet treat options. This was such a fun way to end our night!
Getting the kids to bed was pretty easy too since they knew breakfast with Santa was in the morning. ☺️

The Santa suite package includes breakfast for 2 adults and 2 children at a preferred VIP table from 9am-1030am (additional guest 17.99 child and 39.99 adult)


Breakfast is served family style with eggs, pancakes, fruit, potatoes and assortment of pastries. There is an omelette station and a breakfast taco station offered as well! Breakfast was everything we could have asked for and more! The food was absolutely delicious and the atmosphere was so comfortable and fun!

The kids were kept entertained with the bright balloons, bubbles, coloring books and of course the arrival of Santa himself!

While we ate, Santa read a story and the letters that were delivered to him straight from the mailbox in the lobby! How exciting is that!? We were also able to visit with Santa, and the kids explained what they wanted for Christmas. 😅


This was absolutely such an amazing little staycation for us! We didn’t have to travel far and we checked off so many fun activities in one place. The Dallas Anatole hotel really knows how to give you that full Christmas experience for the whole family!

We truly made some amazing memories as a family and I can’t wait to make more next year!
