It's no secret that Christmas 2020 is going to be more than a little different, but that doesn't mean we still can't enjoy a socially distanced most wonderful time of the year!
That's why ol' Kris Kringle himself has decided to get down with the kids, quite literally, and he's learned how to use Zoom so that your children can still get a chance to see him this holiday season.

Straight Down The Line Promotions has been providing visits from Santa for 25 years in Australia, typically providing experiences at shopping centers, private parties, corporate events, community clubs, schools, and sporting events.
But they didn't want children to miss out this year and decided to offer a Zoom service, which is launching on Friday 13th November.
Each of the Santas (I mean, the real guy) has been trained at Santa School, so you're guaranteed an authentic and genuine experience even over Zoom.
All of the Zoom Santas will naturally come kitted out with the red and white suit we've all come to know and love, jingle bells, deluxe white beard, glasses and curly wig, and official North Pole certification. As for the padding? Well, that might be real or just a giant pillow, but who really cares?
If you'd like to arrange a Zoom call with Santa, you can do so via the Zoom Santa website and pick the date and time that you'd like your kids to speak to him on.
You will then be sent an email with everything that you need to set up the call, and then all you have to do is have your kids ready when the time comes around.
However, unfortunately, the service doesn't come cheap and a 12 minute Santa talk will set you back $145.20 (£112.05).
But don't worry if this is out of your price range, Netflix has recently dropped the first trailer for The Christmas Chronicles 2.
