A season filled with wonder, wishes, and the little moments our kids will remember forever. And this year, we\u2019re bringing families something new, fun, and wonderfully nostalgic:<br><strong>A real number where kids can call Santa and share exactly what\u2019s on their wish list.<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong>And after they do, <strong>parents receive a text message with everything their child told Santa.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a simple idea, powered by a bit of technology and a whole lot of holiday spirit, but the story behind how it came to life is just as sweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Santa just said WHAT?!\" width=\"1250\" height=\"703\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/axne3HmttGM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-this-all-started-a-november-company-meeting-filled-with-holiday-magic\"><strong>\ud83c\udf85 How This All Started: A November Company Meeting Filled With Holiday Magic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every month, our whole team gathers for an all-hands meeting. Part recapping, part planning, and part catching up. This month, the conversation drifted to the holidays and how we were planning to spend it with our family and friends. We started swapping stories about the traditions we\u2019re keeping alive, the excitement our kids feel this time of year, and the small experiences we create that make the season special. In the middle of it, someone casually said, \u201cI wish my kids could just call Santa\u201d. Everyone in the meeting immediately joined in and started sharing how they would use that with their kids and how amazing it would be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was a simple, offhand comment, but it sparked something. As we talked about how much our kids, nieces, and nephews would love that, one of our team members had opened our number search tool to see if any toll-free numbers related to Santa were available. Within seconds he shouted, \u201cYou guys \u2014 I searched for a Santa number and <strong>1-888-Santa-67<\/strong> popped up. I\u2019m buying it right now!\u201d The room erupted in laughter and disbelief. People were saying, \u201cNo way, that\u2019s amazing,\u201d while others jumped in with, \u201cWait\u2026 what\u2019s 67?\u201d After explaining \u2014 and joking \u2014 about the whole 6-7 phenomenon kids are obsessed with right now, it became obvious we had no choice but to run with it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Santa hotline that also ties into a trend kids love felt too perfect to ignore. Within minutes, we&nbsp; secured the number, and the idea took on a life of its own. Our marketing and design teams got to work, and our support team began prepping the number behind the scenes \u2014 transforming a spontaneous moment into a brand-new holiday tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-it-works-it-s-delightfully-simple\"><strong>\ud83d\udcde How It Works (It\u2019s Delightfully Simple)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Kids call <strong>1-888-SANTA-67<\/strong><br>They talk directly to Santa\u2019s automated line.<br>They share their wishes in their own words \u2014 excited, honest, sometimes hilarious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then, like a little holiday miracle\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Parents receive a text message with everything their child said.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s part magic, part technology, and entirely built to create moments you\u2019ll cherish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fun-ways-to-share-the-experience-with-your-kids\"><strong>\ud83c\udf81 Fun Ways to Share the Experience With Your Kids<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few ideas to turn the Santa Hotline into a special family moment:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-make-it-a-holiday-countdown-activity\"><strong>1. Make it a holiday countdown activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Build it into your advent calendar or your \u201c25 days of Christmas\u201d list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-record-the-moment-nbsp\"><strong>2. Record the moment&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Film your child dialing the number or reacting afterward. Sometimes the magic is in the anticipation: the shy smile, the excitement, the \u201cMom, I just talked to Santa!\u201d These videos become priceless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-have-siblings-call-together\"><strong>3. Have siblings call together<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The dynamic is always adorable \u2014 sometimes chaotic \u2014 but always memorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-turn-it-into-a-bedtime-ritual\"><strong>4. Turn it into a bedtime ritual<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let them call Santa after story time, snuggled under twinkle lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-share-the-text-with-family-and-friends\"><strong>5. Share the text with family and friends<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>They love seeing the wishes too \u2014 especially the unexpectedly funny ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-use-the-message-as-a-gift-guide\"><strong>6. Use the message as a gift guide<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Honest, direct, straight from the source \u2014 Santa makes shopping easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-created-naturally\"><strong>\u2764\ufe0f Created Naturally<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This wasn\u2019t a marketing brainstorm or a planned product release. It was a spontaneous idea that came from a simple, heartfelt conversation among our team who wanted to make the holidays magical for their kids and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And now, we\u2019re excited to share it with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-start-a-new-holiday-tradition-this-year\"><strong>\ud83c\udf84 Start a New Holiday Tradition This Year<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to create a moment your child will always remember \u2014 and one you can capture forever \u2014 let them call Santa and share what\u2019s in their heart this season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s one small call\u2026One big childhood moment\u2026And maybe a new tradition your family will look forward to every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Happy holidays \u2014 from our family to yours.
