Frequently Asked Questions
How is Santa’s Club different than an in-person visit at the mall?
It’s More Convenient: The days of piling kids into the mini-van to stand in long and crowded lines are over. You can now meet with Santa from the comfort and safety of home.
You’ll Get More Time with Santa: The typical mall visit will set you back 2-3 hours while your child is rushed through their 30 second visit. With Santa’s Club, jolly Saint Nick is all yours for a full 5-7 minutes with an option to upgrade your visit to 15 minutes long! Plenty of time for laughter, smiles, and priceless new memories.
It’s Personalized: With Santa’s Club you’ll have the opportunity to share information about your child ahead of time such as their name, best friend, favorite TV show, what they want for Christmas etc… Santa will craft these details into a personalized experience that will surprise your child and leave them with a sense of awe.
It’s More Realistic: Your Santa’s Club visit will be broadcast live from Santa’s cabin in the North Pole where he will be seen in front of a live fireplace. You’ll never have to answer questions such as, “What is Santa doing at the mall, shouldn’t he be in the North Pole?”
It’s Not Creepy: Your child will feel safe and you won’t have to ask them to sit on a complete strangers lap. You can now visit with Santa while wearing your favorite pajamas and sipping hot cocoa.
On what dates will virtual visits with Santa be offered?
Visits with Santa begin on November 13th and will end on December 24th. Santa’s schedule will fill up quickly, so we recommend you reserve your visit as early as possible.
How many children can attend a virtual visit?
Live video conversations with Santa are designed to accommodate up to three children. If you have more than three children, they can still participate, however we recommend adding extra time to your visit to ensure Santa has enough time to deliver a personalized experience for each child.
Video messages from Santa are designed to accommodate one child to ensure a highly personalized message just for them.
You will have the option to share details about your child during the sign-up process (name, age, best friend, what they want for Christmas, and more!) and our experienced Santa’s will tailor a message just for them!
When will my keepsake video arrive, and what does it include?
Shortly after your visit we will email you a keepsake video of your live visit with Santa so you can easily share your new memories with your family and friends! You can expect it to arrive within 48 hours after completing your appointment. Please be sure to tag @santas.club on Facebook and Instagram!
