Scots kids still able to meet Santa Claus online as he Zooms in from the North Pole this festive period

Santa Claus will be Zooming in for a special visit for guests at Argyll Holidays near Arrochar this year.
Santa Claus will be Zooming in for a special visit for guests at Argyll Holidays near Arrochar this year.

Although Scots children’s typical visit to Santa’s grotto won’t be likely to happen this year, there’s another way kids can still meet their favourite Christmas character.

Santa will be using Zoom to greet kids staying at Argyll Holidays to spread festive cheer across its eight holiday parks.

Guests and holiday home owners with a stay booked throughout November and December can request a free one-to-one virtual visit with Santa during their visit.

The holiday park operator will be working with Father Christmas to schedule in Zoom calls and offering a contact-free way for children to pass on their Christmas wish lists.

Andrew Wright, Head of Marketing at Argyll Holidays, said: “With so many grottos closed for this festive season, we wanted to create a magical experience for families staying with us over the festive period.

“We know that Santa loves coming to Argyll Holidays every year with his reindeers but just like the rest of us, he’s has had to adapt to lockdown restrictions and he’s been busy getting to grips with Zoom calls so he can schedule in visits with as many children as possible.

“We’re looking forward to spreading some festive cheer at Argyll Holidays – Christmas isn’t cancelled but it certainly feels a bit different, especially after such a difficult year for the hospitality industry.”
