Santa Claus has arrived early in Chattanooga — like he does every early December for his annual tour of local Fazoli’s restaurants. During these events, St. Nick will take photos with children and raffle off fun prizes. This year he will appear in Cleveland Monday, Dec. 4; Chattanooga Tuesday, Dec. 5; and Fort Oglethorpe Wednesday, Dec. 6 from 6-8 p.m. each night.

Want to get in on the early Christmas action? Here’s how:

Bring your family by one of Fazoli’s convenient locations during its respective “Santa Night.” When you purchase an adult entree, photos with Santa are free and printed on the spot. Moreover, when you order food you receive a raffle ticket. That night, after the store closes, Ken Szostek, Fazoli’s director of operations and Santa’s trusted helper, draws names of a few lucky boys and girls to award with toys. The winners are able to pick up their prizes the following day.

But December at Fazoli’s isn’t just for kids. In fact, the fast-fresh Italian restaurant has a new special sure to please adults, too. For a limited time you may sample its baked fettuccine Alfredo, spicy Italian baked pasta or pizza baked spaghetti for $4.99 each.

And be sure to stay tuned: While that $4.99 deal — like Santa’s time in the Tennessee Valley — won’t last long, Fazoli’s next promotion — peanut butter chocolate chip cheesecake — is so delicious that it just might have you saying, “Santa, who?”
