Pancakes & PJs with the Green Grump: A Family-Friendly Holiday Brunch in Bend

Published on November 30, 2026


The best holiday traditions are best enjoyed in pajamas. In Bend, families can combine breakfast, festive fun, and a little Seuss-inspired mischief with a holiday brunch at Riverhouse Lodge.

Pancakes & PJs Brunch gives families a reason to start the holiday season with a relaxed morning at CURRENTS. Kids can show up in their favorite pajamas, enjoy a festive breakfast, and take part in the holiday atmosphere without needing to dress up for a formal brunch.

CURRENTS, Riverhouse Lodge’s in-house restaurant on the Deschutes River, is an easy place to build into a family day in Bend. After breakfast, families can continue exploring the city, browse downtown shops, or look for additional holiday events in Bend.

December is particularly active around town. Tower Theatre's holiday calendar includes Swingin' Tower Christmas, a family-friendly production featuring local performers and a 16-piece live big band, along with The Nutcracker: Symphony of Lights.

Bend also offers plenty of outdoor opportunities during the winter months. Depending on conditions, families can enjoy a walk along the Deschutes River or head toward the mountains for snow activities.

For families visiting from out of town, staying at Riverhouse Lodge makes it easy to keep the holiday fun close to home. Start with pancakes and pajamas, spend the afternoon exploring Bend, then return to the lodge for a relaxed evening.

Whether you're looking for a family-friendly holiday brunch in Bend or simply a fun way to start a winter getaway, Pancakes & PJs offers a playful addition to the season.
