Zoo New England is inviting families to add some magic to their holiday season this year with a live, personalized ZOOm video chat with Santa. From the comfort of their own ho-ho-home, kids will go WILD for their very own chat with Jolly Old St. Nick!

ZOOms with Santa can be scheduled on Saturdays until Dec. 19 between 2:00 and 8:00 p.m. Calls will last 7-8 minutes, depending on the number of children and questions for Santa. Your call will be recorded and emailed to you afterwards, so you'll have a lasting memory to keep and share on social media. You can even have friends and family join in on the call for some extra fun!

After selecting your date, be sure to answer the participant questions to help personalize your experience. If you have more than three children on the call, Zoo New England recommends booking an extra timeslot to make sure each child has enough time to speak with Santa.

Optional add-ons include a “Gift from Santa,” which includes a festively wrapped reindeer plush with a sugar-scented letter with confetti from Santa for $49.95, or you can add on “Storytime with Santa” for only $10, and you’ll receive a pre-recorded video of Santa reading "Twas The Night Before Christmas"

Proceeds from the ZOOm Santa calls support the operation of Stone Zoo and Zoo New England’s mission to protect and preserve the incredible biodiversity on our planet.
