Join us on Saturday, December 13th, from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM at the Arbor Greene Community Center for our annual Santa’s Family Pancake Breakfast, a beloved holiday tradition filled with warmth, wonder, and plenty of festive fun.

If you plan to attend, please RSVP using the quick form linked above so we can prepare the best experience possible.

We are grateful for the unwavering support of Matt & Laurie Dykeman of My Tampa Home Team, our long-time event sponsors who make this cherished celebration possible each year.


Pancake Breakfast

Start your morning with a delicious, freshly prepared breakfast.
Your meal includes:

  • Buttermilk pancakes served with butter and syrup
  • A selection of festive pancake toppings
  • Fresh seasonal fruit
  • Milk and orange juice

We’ve expanded this year’s topping station and improved the breakfast flow so families can enjoy their meals quickly and comfortably.


Holiday Wonderland Inside the Community Center

After enjoying your breakfast, step inside our Community Center—fully transformed into a cozy holiday wonderland.

We’ve added more décor, themed table settings, and immersive lighting to create a truly magical indoor experience for families.

Once settled, children and families can take part in a variety of holiday crafts, hands-on activities, and creative stations.

We’re excited to bring back our highly requested cookie-decorating kits, with more toppings and icings for our little artists.


Entertainment & Activities

We have a full lineup of engaging entertainment for our youngest residents.
Enjoy:

  • Temporary glitter tattoos
  • Our community-favorite balloon twisters
  • Additional entertainment surprises throughout the morning

Outside, we’ve arranged a selection of inflatable attractions perfect for burning off some holiday energy. To make the most of the morning, we encourage families to grab their photos with Santa before exploring the inflatables.


Photos With Santa & Mrs. Claus

Mr. and Mrs. Claus will be stationed in the Gathering Room, which will be decorated with classic holiday charm.

Families can stop by for keepsake photos, and while you're there, enjoy a few festive giveaways available exclusively in this area.

We will also have additional photo spots and themed backdrops throughout the Community Center for more memory-making moments.


Special Feature: Playin’ With Penguins

Coach Julie returns to host “Playin’ with Penguins” on Court 1—an energetic and whimsical activity young children absolutely love.

This popular feature has become a favorite part of the event, and we’re thrilled to offer it again this year.


Sponsor Appreciation

Once again, we extend our deepest thanks to Matt & Laurie Dykeman of My Tampa Home Team for their faithful support.

Since 2006, My Tampa Home Team has helped hundreds of families buy and sell homes across Hillsborough, Pasco, and Pinellas Counties.

As Arbor Greene residents for more than 20 years, Matt and Laurie have continued to sponsor this event annually—and Santa’s Family Pancake Breakfast remains their favorite tradition to support.

Their generosity helps bring this magical holiday experience to life each year, and we look forward to hosting it alongside them.
