STUART — The Marriott Hutchinson Island Beach Resort, Golf & Marina has the holiday spirit. They have two seasonal celebrations scheduled ── and they’re not just for hotel guests.

On Dec. 20, Santa is coming to the resort.

Locals are invited to enjoy Breakfast with Santa. Children can snap photos with the man in red, enjoy festive crafts, and decorate their own holiday cookies. A full breakfast buffet will be served from 8 a.m. – noon but Santa’s only available for photo ops between 9 and 11 a.m.

As if Santa’s not cute enough, the Humane Society of the Treasure Coast will host a special adoption pop-up featuring dogs and bunnies looking for their forever homes.

Admission to breakfast with Santa is $37 per adult and $17 for kids age 10 and under.

Christmas Day

There are not many restaurants operating on Christmas Day, so if you’re looking for a holiday feast with none of the hassle and work, the resort will be serving up its Coastal Noël Buffet from noon to 6 p.m., Dec. 25.

Highlights include an antipasti and salad bar, a fresh raw bar with oysters, shrimp, and crab, and carving stations featuring turkey, beef tenderloin, and baked salmon. Guests can enjoy festive sides, and mini desserts. There is also a kids’ cookie and gingerbread decorating station.

The holiday buffet is $70 per adult and $35 for children 10 and under.

Reservations for each event are highly recommended and may be made by calling (772) 225-3700.
