This year’s holiday celebrations won’t look the same as last year and retailers are adapting by introducing new ways to connect with families from home with virtual experiences like Nordstrom’s Virtual Santa Chats. Starting at the end of November, reservations will open up so that private, virtual 15-minute video calls can be booked with Santa. 100% of the proceeds from the $20 ticket go towards supporting Operation Warm, which is devoted to providing new winter coats to kids in need.
Some of the other Festive Experiences that are being offered by Nordstrom for the season include Letters to Santa (or emails to Santa,) as well as Make Merry at Home printable activity sheets and Holiday Breakfasts with COVID-19 safety precautions in place.
