BREAKFAST WITH SANTA: A MAGICAL COMMUNITY EVENT
In partnership with Aviva and St. Johnstone Football Club, we were beyond excited to host our very first Breakfast With Santa event, spreading festive cheer and bringing joy to families across our community just in time for Christmas.
This heartwarming event brought together families who were invited to enjoy a morning filled with festive treats, fun activities, and surprises. We worked closely with local schools and organisations to ensure families had the opportunity to participate in this special celebration.
What Happened on the Day:
Families were welcomed to McDiarmid Park to enjoy:
- Delicious hot breakfast options
- Fresh fruit & yoghurts
- A magical visit from Santa
- Wrapped gifts for the children
- A special appearance by Brogan the Beagle
- Activity books and colouring in
- Complimentary match tickets
- Festive décor provided by The Balloon Studio
- ... and so much more!
The event was made even more special by surprise visits from Megan and Bobby from St. Johnstone Women’s FC, as well as Simo and the St. Johnstone men’s squad, who took time out of their busy schedules to connect with the families attending.
Heartfelt Feedback:
Two families shared their gratitude and joy after attending the event:
"This was a wonderful event...the selection of food was incredible, the staff were friendly, and the visit from Santa with his elves giving gifts to the children was great. The activity books and props on each table brought a lot of fun to my kids, and the visit from the whole first team squad was the cherry on the cake, such a special surprise!"
"The whole event was perfect from start to finish. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food and meeting santa, the players and the mascot. Everyone was so friendly. Thank you."
Grateful Thanks:
We are incredibly grateful to everyone who helped make this event unforgettable. A special thanks to our event sponsor, Aviva, and their dedicated team of volunteers who went above and beyond. Their generosity and support made this event truly special. Learn more about our partnership with Aviva HERE.
We also want to acknowledge the local schools and organisations who worked with us to bring this day to life. Without their collaboration, we wouldn’t have been able to offer this experience to so many families.
Capturing the Magic:
A huge thank you to Chris Logan for beautifully capturing the joy, laughter, and magic of the morning. The video truly reflect the warmth and spirit of the event.
A Community Effort:
This event demonstrates the power of collaboration—when businesses like Aviva partner with local organisations, they can help bring communities together, creating memories and opportunities for families that may not otherwise have been possible.
Together, we are building stronger communities, making a real difference, and ensuring that everyone has the chance to enjoy the magic of the holiday season.
Thank you again to Aviva, St. Johnstone FC, and all those who contributed to this heartwarming event!
