How to get Santa to text or call your kids this Christmas if they’re being naughty? – The Sun

SANTA will have to keep an eye for the Omicron variant as he visits children's homes this year.

But how can you get a personal message from Santa if your children are being naughty before Christmas Day?

How can Santa call or text your kids this Christmas?

Thankfully, parents have a way to bargain with their children ahead of the big day.

All kids want presents, so they wouldn't want to hear that Santa knows they are misbehaving.

Phone app

With the help of phone app, Message from Santa, mums and dads can now request a special message from Father Christmas himself.

You can get St Nick to deliver a warning – either by text, phone call, or via a video call.

You can add names, ages, as well as your children's hobbies and interests to tailor the message.

And, you won't have to wait long for Santa's reply either as he will get back to you instantly.

The app can also be used to encourage good behaviour with Santa ringing your children to keep up the good work.

It is free and available to download from iTunes and Google Play.

PNP is another app that also helps parents bring Santa to your children without leaving the house.

You can create magical personalised messages from Santa and will let your loves ones now if they made it to his Nice List!

Facetime

Virgin Media will be providing a free virtual grotto experience on the three weekends running up to Christmas day.

Unfortunately, the ballot to join one of those free calls is closed so if you didn't enter or didn't win a place you may want to consider other options.

Santascallingyou.co.uk is one such website that allows you to set up a private video call with the man himself.

The 10-minute calls start at £24.99 and the price depends on when you want the call to be.

Wonder Adventures is another company hosting live 'Santa comes to tea' virtual experiences for £12.99.

These take place via Facebook private groups and can involve other families you may not know.

Santa's Lapland, which usually arranges trips to meet Santa in a snowy setting, is also 10-minute video calls to Lapland.

Prices start from a fairly expensive £85.
