Santa's Buttons

The North Pole has alerted us that several of Santa’s Buttons must have fallen off at the hotel. If you find one of Santa’s buttons, kindly return to our Front Office. Mrs. Claus will need them to repair his red suit, so he’s nice and warm ahead of his sleigh ride on December 25th around the globe with Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen, and, of course, Rudolph.

In exchange, Santa will ensure you’re at the top of his nice list & gift you a hot cocoa from Herb N’ Kitchen during your stay.
