The holiday season is about to sparkle a little brighter in Old Town Alexandria as Alexandria Living Magazine hosts the Alexandria Jingle Bell Jam — a festive holiday breakfast with Santa, complete with music, magic and a sumptuous buffet at the Heritage Ballroom at Hotel Heron.
It's the kind of holiday event that your child will remember for years to come!
(Please visit our wonderful event sponsors Babs Beckwith of Corcoran McEnearney, United States Senate Federal Credit Union and Thrivent financial services organization.)
Set against the charming backdrop of Old Town Alexandria, the Hotel Heron will open its ballroom Sunday, Dec. 7, from 8 to 11 a.m. for a morning filled with holiday joy. Guests will be treated to a delicious breakfast buffet (on the menu: pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit cups, juice and a coffee station) all served in the elegant surroundings of this beautifully restored landmark all decorated for the holiday season.
The highlight of the morning will be a special visit from Santa Claus himself. Children will have the chance to meet St. Nick, share their Christmas wishes and snap a keepsake photo.
Adding to the excitement, a DJ will spin favorite classic holiday tunes, setting a cheerful vibe as families enjoy breakfast and mingle with friends and family.
Guests can also look forward to a fun holiday magic show topping off the festivities. A magician will dazzle the audience with surprises and a touch of Christmas wonder before children head home with a goody bag filled with holiday treats.
The Hotel Heron, originally built in the 1920s, has become a cornerstone of Alexandria’s hospitality scene. Once a gathering place for travelers arriving by riverboat, the hotel has been thoughtfully revitalized, preserving its Art Deco charm while embracing a fresh, modern elegance.
Tickets for the Alexandria Jingle Bell Jam holiday breakfast at the Hotel Heron are available now and can be purchased on Eventbrite. With great food, live entertainment and a little Christmas magic, this event promises to be a can’t-miss holiday tradition for families and friends across the area.
