COLUMBUS, Ohio, Dec. 11, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Santa Claus will be getting some practice for his Christmas Eve journey when he visits more than 200 White Castle restaurants in 11 cities this weekend.

His annual visit, now in its eighth year, is a cherished White Castle tradition.

The Lunch with Santa event runs from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at participating White Castle restaurants, which will be adorned with festive holiday decor. All children who visit Santa will receive a special gift – a free meal! (Limit four children per adult.) Mini-Cravers will have the choice of:

Two Original Sliders^®, two Cheese Sliders, two Veggie Sliders or a six-piece Chicken Rings
A side of applesauce or a small order of French fries
Milk, a small soft drink or a 100% apple juice box

"We're all about family at White Castle, so what better time to help create magical moments and special memories than at Christmas," said Jamie Richardson, vice president at White Castle. "We're not just providing families with an affordable and delicious lunch during a really hectic time, we're also giving them the gift of fun family time."

No reservations are required to have lunch with Santa, but parents should come prepared with cameras to capture photos of their tiny tots with their eyes all aglow.
