Breakfast with Santa Flyer Template: What to Include for a School or PTO Event

You've said yes to running Breakfast with Santa this year, the date is booked, and now you need a flyer that goes home in every backpack by next week. The good news: a great event flyer isn't about clever design. It's about getting six pieces of information in front of busy parents so clearly that they can decide in five seconds.

The 6 things every Breakfast with Santa flyer needs

1. The event name, big. "Breakfast with Santa" should be the largest words on the page, readable from across a school hallway.
2. Who's hosting. "Lincoln Elementary PTO presents" or "St. Mary's Parish invites you" tells families it's a trusted, local event.
3. Date and time on one line. For example: Saturday, December 13 • 8:00–10:00 AM.
4. The venue and address. Even if everyone knows the school gym, grandparents and new families may not.
5. What's included. Pancakes, cocoa, photos with Santa, crafts. This is what makes kids beg to go.
6. Price and how to get tickets. "$5 kids | $8 adults | Under 3 free" plus "Tickets at the door or online at…" Families need to know the cost before they commit.

Add one small line at the bottom for the cause ("All proceeds support…") and a contact number. That's it. Resist the urge to add more.

Swap "Breakfast" for "Pancakes," "Brunch" or "Cookies" if your event is different, and the same layout still works.

How to choose a flyer template

When you're comparing templates, look past the pretty picture and check these:

• Does the title read at thumbnail size? Your flyer will be shared on Facebook and in group chats, often at phone size.
• Is there room for a price line and a cause line? Many cute flyers are really party invitations with no space for ticket details.
• Does it come with matching tickets? If you're charging at the door, numbered admission tickets help you count heads and track sales.
• Can you post it online? A phone-sized or social media version saves you resizing it yourself.
• Does it photocopy well? School offices often print in black and white. Artwork with clear outlines holds up better than soft, washed-out designs.
• Can you edit it for free? A template that works with a free Canva account means any volunteer can update it next year.

A ready-made option for PTOs and churches

If you'd rather not start from a blank page, our Editable Breakfast with Santa Flyer and Invitation was built for exactly this kind of event. It's a vintage storybook design of Santa sharing pancakes with children, with every line above already laid out. The kit includes an 8.5x11 flyer, a matching 5x7 invitation, a phone evite, an Instagram post and a sheet of eight numbered admission tickets, all editable in Canva.

It also comes with two free bonuses that help with the rest of the planning: an 18-page printable party planner and a party planner web app for your checklist, budget, shopping list and timeline.

The bottom line

Keep your flyer simple: a big title, the six essentials and a clear price. Families will scan it in seconds, so make those seconds count. If you want it done tonight, start with a template that already has the wording, tickets and phone version built in.
