Need to have a chat with Santa Claus? Below are five ways you can find Santa Claus online, whether you’re trying to get off the naughty list or if you just want to hear his hearty, “Ho, ho, ho!” You can tell him what you want for Christmas, ask about his flying reindeer, or find out where all those cookies go every Christmas Eve.
Write an Email Letter to Santa
Santa is online and checking his email regularly throughout the day. Here are some options for writing an email to him:
- Email Santa: This interactive site lets you or your child choose a stamp and send Santa a digital letter. When you’re done, you’ll receive an immediate email reply. You also can view Santa’s message right away on the website.
- Northpole.com: You and your kids will find all kinds of fun things to do here, in addition to sending an email to Santa: Play games, read stories, or try out Christmas karaoke. You must sign up for a free account (either a child or parent account) before you can write a letter to Santa or send postcards from the site.
Send a Video Letter From Santa
Portable North Pole sends free, personalized video letters for all ages and relationships, with charming touches that make the recipient wonder how Santa knows what he knows. For example, the video letter might mention toys on a kid’s wish list, whether the child has been doing well in school (or perhaps not so well), and if they help with chores or are nice to their siblings. You can make as many videos as you want, for as many people as you wish.
Make a Phone Call to Santa’s Hotline
If someone in your house wants to call Santa on the phone, you can arrange a personal phone call to the big guy at Santa’s Hotline at FreeConference.com. Your child can call Santa’s phone number and leave a message. After they leave a message, you’ll receive a text from Santa’s helpers. Call the number in the text to hear your child’s message and a message from Santa’s helpers.
The Santa Claus phone number for English speakers in the United States is +1 (605) 313-4000. If you’re outside the United States, visit the website to find the right phone number for your country and language.
If you’d like to write the whole message from Santa and then have him call your child, try ChristmasDialer.com. Another option is Santa’s Magic Phone Call & Text app.
Chat With Santa Online
If your children are old enough to type, they can enjoy chatting with Santa at the Santa Chats website. Just type a greeting or question into the text box, and Santa responds immediately. Although the chat responses are automated, and some responses are more polished than others, chatting with Santa can be amusing for your children.
NORAD Santa Tracker
You can’t leave a letter for Santa here, but you can get plenty of real-time information during the holiday season. The NORAD Santa Tracker is active beginning on December 1 each year and is especially busy on Christmas Eve. NORAD is a fun way for kids to track Santa Claus as he makes his way around the world with presents.
The site includes videos, a fun countdown, a cookie counter that tracks how many cookies Santa Claus has eaten so far, and a reading of The Night Before Christmas.
