Our Virtual Visit with Santa Experience:
Pretty much every child is guaranteed to have some tears shed on Santa’s lap at some point, right? Well, that was also the case for us with our virtual visit…
Parker was SO excited to see Santa. We scheduled it and counted down. But when the big moment came, my sweet girls’ nerves kicked in and the tears started flowing.
This scenario was SO much better virtual though because I took a moment to comfort her and Santa understood and waited patiently. I was so grateful we didn’t have a line of antsy kids behind us too like you would at the mall.
She recovered after about a minute of hugs and Santa was so kind to her and made her comfortable from there on out! So much so that it was hard for him to get a word in with her occasionally. She can be chatty like her mom lol.
She even showed him a book from our bookshelf! She was so proud.
Perhaps the coolest part of this virtual visit with Santa though was that parents get to fill out a form prior to the visit to help loop Santa in on some talking points that would be important to your child (and you!).
For instance, Parker is now potty trained and sleeping in her big girl bed so Santa mentioned that he knew that and was proud of her.
We also asked Santa to mention that she needed to be working on using her manners a bit more often…gold right?!
Whenever he mentioned something that she didn’t know he knew, she’d light up…it was so sweet!
You can also tell him your Elf on the Shelf’s name! Giant Food has thought of everything with these virtual visits with Santa!
The Magic…
You can also tell Santa what some of your child’s favorite gifts were from last year and what they want this year.
Parker threw me a curveball with what she wanted this year, too! I told Santa she wants dress-up clothes and a refrigerator for her little kitchen. She told him she wants a pretend pizza and a baby shark for the pool. We just closed the pool! Kids, man. At least I know what to shop for now!
The whole visit was about 15 minutes of magic. Definitely so unique and I am so thankful we could do it on our own schedule, stress-free!
And, we can relive it for years to come because you can download a keepsake video after. It will be so fun to show her when she’s bigger…
So make sure to give your child the magic of Christmas with a personal live online visit with Santa sponsored by Ocean Spray cranberry juice, Folgers coffee, McCormick spices, Milk-Bone, Keebler, Kinder, and Ferrero Rocher.
