Come with Us to Christmas Tea at a Resort Just Outside of Disney World
There are a lot of things to do around Orlando besides go to Disney World. You can check out the local restaurants and shops, attend a sporting event, or explore the nearby towns.
Around this time of year, there are also some fun holiday events happening around the Orlando area. And, we just went to check one out for ourselves!
Christmas Tea with Santa & Mrs. Claus
We were invited to attend Christmas Tea with Santa & Mrs. Claus at the Mission Inn Resort + Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Florida, which is about 35 minutes from Orlando.
The resort is a member of Historic Hotels of America and has a very rich history dating back to the early 20th century. It’s home to golf courses, a hotel, restaurants, a spa, and event spaces.
This event place on Saturday, December 9th from 11:30AM to 1:30PM. It was $32 per adult and $22 per child.
It was held in the La Paloma room of the resort. But, before you get inside, you’re greeted by Santa & Mrs. Claus!
Inside, there is a variety of small bites and some drinks that you can grab.
Included in the event are things like cocktails for the adults, such as White Tea Sangria.
Some of the small bites were things like Rosemary Chicken Salad, Smoked Salmon and Brie, and Apple and Ham finger sandwiches.
There are also assorted holiday-themed cakes and Petit Fours.
As for the kids, there are kid-friendly options like a customizable Hot Cocoa Bar and Cider Bar.
Food for the kids included Nutella & Banana and Peanut Butter & Jelly sandwiches.
There was even a kids lemonade with glitter in it to make it festive!
Also for the kids, there was a station with some reindeer food, games, and a greeting with Santa.
There was some candy, too!
Overall, we thought this event was really cute! It was a great way to take a small break from Disney during your trip and experience a new area that’s not too far away. There is a lot to do and see at the resort and nearby.
This was a one-day event, but there are more events coming up at the Mission Inn Resort + Club! Here’s a look at the upcoming schedule:
