FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Sam’s Club members have a reason to be jolly and bright.
This year, Sam’s Club is offering its members a free, virtual Santa experience with an exclusive look into the North Pole.
Members can choose from a diverse group of Santa’s and enter their names and ages for a more personalized Santa experience.
A photo and video of the visit will be given to members so they can share the moment with their friends and family. Sam’s Club is encouraging families to share their keepsakes on social using #SamsSanta.
Beginning Tuesday (Nov. 17), Sam’s Club members can book their live visit here. Only members can schedule visits.
The sessions will be booked first come first serve and are expected to fill up quickly. There is a limit of one Santa visit per membership, but multiple children are welcome to attend the visit.
In addition to the virtual visit and photo/video keepsakes, Sam’s Club is giving its members fun, Christmas-themed activities to enjoy while waiting for Santa.
Members can download coloring book pages to color and show Santa during their visit, learn recipes so they can make tasty treats to set out for the “jolly ol’ elf” and his reindeer on Christmas Eve and browse the toy shop for last-minute gifts.
Members will also be able to write a letter to Santa and are reminded to check their email to see his reply.
