The world’s first fully integrated virtual experience platform, JingleRing is supported by a culturally diverse cast of Santas who speak a variety of languages including American Sign Language. Customers may choose their preferred Santa and/or Mrs. Claus, including a faith-based Santa or even a special needs Santa who has received additional training provided by JingleRing. Parents and caregivers can make the experience even more magical by adding personalized details about their children including their Christmas wish list. They can invite relatives from around the world to join their JingleRing session, making it a full-family experience. All JingleRing sessions are recorded and even include pictures with Santa that can be shared on social media.
