As the pandemic continues, and doesn’t seem to be slowing down for the holidays, children are wondering what will happen with Santa. However, there is no need to panic! Just like everything else these days, Santa has gone virtual. Don White and Mary Rogers are a couple who dress up as Mr. & Ms. Clause. They say that their profits are predicted to quadruple over this holiday season, as parents are desperate to keep up the holiday spirit. This couple aren’t the only ones cashing in on “Santa Zoom.” There are loads of companies using online video chats to talk to kids as Santa. It has become a happy, yet profitable solution to Christmas over a pandemic.
