Families are finding that they need to connect with Santa in different ways this year in order to maintain public safety protocols and Yankee Candle is helping to keep the magic of the season alive with the Official Santa Cam. The virtual experience promises to transport people straight to the North Pole, where they'll get an inside look at Santa's workshop—right from the comfort of their homes.
By tuning into the virtual experience, people will get to see Santa building toys, making video calls, reading letters and enjoying other elements of the season.
To help families continue to enjoy safe holidays at home, Yankee Candle created a series of festive virtual backgrounds, including Santa's workshop backgrounds.
