While the holidays will definitely look a lot different during these unusual times, kids are still counting on Santa Claus to make Christmas special. While you can have a socially distanced visit with the big guy at a mall, another new option is to have your kids receive a personalized video from Santa that they’ll want to watch again and again.
It’s The Real Santa uses technology to create and deliver a personalized Santa video visit so kids can experience a joyful greeting from the safety of home.
While you might not feel comfortable having your kids meet Santa in person this year, and sitting on a stranger’s lap is definitely out of the question, It’s The Real Santa is a pandemic safe solution to keeping spirits high when everything is different.
For $44.95 you’ll get a personalized video recording from the real Santa, addressing your children by name, mentioning their activities or pets and even commenting on their Christmas lists.
Co-founder Joe Harkins, aka “Santa Joe,” was running a successful Santa business when the pandemic hit. At the time, a former colleague and friend, Tom Lapke, had the foresight to know that COVID-19 would not be over by Christmas. He reached out to Joe with an idea to pivot and It’s The Real Santa was born.
Joe, a proud “Real Beard Santa” at 87 years old, has been a professional Santa actor for seven years, working with names like Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Anna Kendrick, Bill Ritter and Impractical Jokers on MTV.
