Take photos with Santa or the Grinch Thursday, Dec. 22
The Velvet Cactus’ Baton Rouge location already sold out of two of its Gingerbread Brunches this coming week, so it added a third right before Christmas. At the event, kids can build gingerbread houses and meet Santa while the parents enjoy cocktails and food. Call 225-227-2563 to reserve your spot. A required $50 deposit will be applied to your bill.
Or, if Christmas makes you grumpy, come back to the restaurant between 6-8 p.m. that night for pictures with the Grinch himself. It’s a free event, but be sure to bring your own camera, and stop by the bar for a cocktail while you scroll through your camera roll.
The Velvet Cactus is at 7655 Old Hammond Highway.
