With so many holiday celebrations, Santa photos, and Holiday attractions being delayed or canceled this year, we wanted to make sure that your kids could connect with Santa online. Here are 8 virtual and online options for kids who would like to speak with Santa, listen to a Santa bedtime story, or write a letter to the big man in red.
Childhood is so short and so precious that we don't want anyone to miss out on these memory-making opportunities. We have included mostly free options here with a few paid options for anyone interested. We hope that you are staying healthy and safe as we work through this COVID Christmas season.
