No one is busier in December than Santa's elves. However, the Christmas helpers are anxious to take a breather and show kids around the North Pole.
Hop on a (virtual) sleigh ride and get lost in the new cyber winter wonderland Santa: The Experience, produced by GTC. This elf-guided digital delight takes Zoom visitors through every corridor of Santa's digs, including his mail room (surely a bustling spot), the elves' bedrooms, the reindeer stables and, naturally, the most coveted spot in the Arctic—Santa's workshop.
"We are so excited to bring Santa: The Experience to life," GTC Co-Founder, James Hyland, said in a statement. "Giving the ability to share such a precious moment virtually with family members makes this holiday season even more special.”
Kids and families can let Rudolph and co. guide them to the fun from Dec 1–24 ($34.99). Of course, no trip to the North Pole would be complete without a chat with Kris Kringle himself. At the end of the journey, participants can receive a video recording of their toy discussions with Santa (which are social media-ready).
Although Christmas events are looking slightly different in 2020—and many vendors are resorting to socially-distanced celebrations like drive-thru experiences—there's still a way to make the most wonderful time of year merry and bright. Be sure to also take a look at Macy's virtual SantaLand, which will give kids all over the country a taste of a NYC tradition—right from their couch!
