Virtual Santa Visits

JingleRing Shares Contactless Chats with Santa from Home

— October 22, 2020 — Lifestyle
Families may not be able to visit Santa at the mall this year but they can look forward to convenient ways to getting in touch with Father Christmas thanks to JingleRing and its virtual Santa visits. For 2020, JingleRing is helping families pre-schedule their contactless visit with Santa and the experience needs no apps or special downloads like Zoom.

The scalable virtual Santa platform offers a global experience, as it has a culturally diverse cast of Santas who speak a variety of languages. As JingleRings describes, "Customers may choose from Santa or Black Santa with options of a faith-based Santa and a special needs Santa who knows American Sign Language."

On the platform, families can get personalized pre-recorded video messages and virtual visits that include video recordings.
