Scots parents still have time for kids to get Zoom call with Santa - here's how

Scots parents still have time to make Christmas 2020 extra special for their little ones.

Live Entertainment company, Underbelly have teamed up with Mr and Mrs Claus to bring the magic of Santa ’s Official Grotto online this year.

Since all the usual places to visit Santa are closed due to Covid19 this year, children can experience the Big Man from the comfort of their own homes.

Once parents sign up they can include up to six children in the 12 minute call.

Parents are asked to help St Nicholas by filling in a form for each child, telling him their names, ages, hobbies, best friends, what they want for Christmas, favourite Christmas activities,etc.

Armed with all this valuable information Santa then calls the youngsters at an agreed time and has a chat, a few jokes and a sing-song of some of their favourite festive hits.

Fans of traditional Santa's grottos might love this experience even more than previous years because it is so much more personalised.

The look on your child's face when Santa already knows their name is truly magical!

As we prepare for what might be a mainly digital Christmas this year,  Santa at Home  will give children of all ages, from all over the world, the unique opportunity to meet Santa in a personalised and private Zoom session live from the North Pole.

The sessions bring the magic of Santa’s Grotto to a safe, socially distanced and wonderful online experience.

Up to six children can meet Santa in any one session and  unlimited family members  can also join a session to watch their children, grandchildren, cousins, nieces or nephews meet Santa LIVE from the North Pole.

Santa at Home is a magical opportunity for family and friends, grandchildren and grandparents, and cousins and aunts to come together in a shared and special moment online, allowing everyone to cast aside worries of the last year and to enjoy a moment of pure festive joy with Mr Claus himself.
