How do kids chat with Santa Claus online?

Two sites, santachats.com and www.santabot.com, allow children to type their messages to Santa and receive replies from him in real time. These websites are set up in chatroom-type formats.

Another fun way to talk to Santa is on videochatwithsanta.com. During the Christmas season, this site allows you to set up a time for your child to video chat with Santa. As of July 2015, it costs $9.95 for one call, and all the child needs is access to a telephone and computer so he can view Santa while they are speaking. The site also gives children the opportunity to email Santa a Christmas wish list.
