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.
