Can we take photos with Santa this year during COVID-19?

This year, your annual holiday photo with Santa will likely look a little different. We encourage you to mark the occasion while being COVID-safe. If you visit Santa, make sure to keep 2 metres apart. Consider the following activities as possible alternatives too:

Have a family member from your household dress as Santa to take a photo with your little ones.
Connect with a local photographer to organize a physically distant photoshoot.
Encourage your children to engage with Santa by mailing a letter to the North Pole.
Participate in virtual interactions with Santa.

As always, remember to stay home if you are feeling unwell, practise physical distancing, and wear your face covering.
