What can children see on Santa cam?

When should we watch the North Pole webcam?
Families often leave Santa's live webcam on during breakfast, homework, or a Christmas Eve countdown. Because it is a live stream, you can dip in for a few minutes or leave it playing while wrapping presents.
How is a Santa voice message different?
The webcam lets children see the North Pole. A personalised Santa voice message lets them hear Santa say their name, gifts, siblings, and proud moments from the year. Many families watch the live cam first, then play the audio as the Christmas Eve surprise.
