Virtual Santa for Malls, Stores & Retail Events
Bring a talking Santa to a kiosk, store window or event stage. Shoppers talk with Santa on screen in their own language, any day of the year — no set to staff around a performer's hours.
Why it works for your venue
No camera is ever required. Santa cannot see anyone, so guests never appear on video.
Runs in a normal web browser on a laptop, tablet or big screen — nothing to install.
Available 24/7/365, so the same tool works for holiday events and year-round programs.
Text Chat works in any language, Voice Call auto-detects 15 languages, and Live Video offers 20 languages.
Works at any hour your venue is open, without scheduling a performer.
