Why Your Kid Will Love It: For years, rumors have circulated about the demise or non-existence of everyone’s favorite North Pole resident, Santa Claus. But whether your kids maintain a cautious optimism or have grown more skeptical with age, they’ll no doubt be convinced of St. Nick’s being when the get a call from the jolly old man himself, courtesy of Santa Is Calling.

What You Should Know: Instead of staying up all night in the hopes of seeing Santa slide down the chimney, let your children talk to the man firsthand over the phone. Santa is Calling has two different messages (“Merry Christmas” and “Be Good”), each with several customizable options (name, state, desired present) so your son or daughter knows that the message was tailor-made for them. Simply fill out the form online and choose a time and a number for Santa to call. Before you give your kids their big present, give them the best gift they could ask for, a call from Santa.
