Billy Claus is bringing a little tropical Christmas magic to LuLu’s Gulf Shores on Nov. 28, giving families an opportunity to enjoy breakfast, holiday activities and a visit with Santa’s sun-loving brother.

The annual Breakfast with Billy Claus event will take place from 8-10 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 28, at LuLu’s, 200 East 25th Avenue in Gulf Shores.

The morning will feature a breakfast buffet, festive crafts, family activities and opportunities to take photos with Billy Claus and the LuLuBelles. Guests also can visit a hot chocolate stand, write letters to Santa and browse Billy Claus merchandise.

Breakfast will include a build-your-own blue pancake station featuring LuLu’s signature pancakes, colored with blue spirulina. Guests can add whipped cream, blueberries, fresh fruit, maple or pancake syrup, chocolate syrup and caramel drizzle.

The buffet also will include bacon, sausage patties, biscuits and sausage gravy, scrambled eggs and fruit.

Breakfast costs $12 for adults and $8 for children. Family activities are free.

Billy Claus, introduced in Lucy Buffett’s children’s book, "Billy Claus and the Spirit of Christmas Island," is Santa Claus' younger brother. Unlike Santa, Billy prefers sunshine, flip-flops and saltwater because of his allergy to snow. He has become a holiday tradition at LuLu’s, bringing a coastal twist to Christmas celebrations.
