SEATTLE, Nov. 12, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Holiday may look a little different this year, but Nordstrom has re-imagined the season offering festive experiences in-store and online, with Virtual Santa Chats , letters to Santa, Holiday breakfasts and fun DIY activities for the whole family – all designed to prioritize the health and safety of customers and employees. Details are listed below, or visit our Festive Experiences website to learn more and sign up today.

  • Our Special Snowflake: Virtual Santa Chats (reservations available now; appointments begin 11/27 for the U.S. and Canada)
    When we told Santa he wouldn't be able to take pictures with all the kids in person this year, he said, "But I need to speak to every single one of them! Have them call me." His words exactly. This year, we're excited to offer a personalized,  private, virtual 15-minute video call with Santa himself! Tickets are $20 and 100% of the proceeds benefit Operation Warm (which provides new winter coats to kids in need in our communities), as well as Big Brothers Big Sisters of America and Canada.
    • A note for parents: Nordstrom Santas are diverse, with a range of ethnic backgrounds and body types, to reflect the customers that we serve. Purchase tickets here. 
  • Letters to Santa (e-mails to Santa available now; letter drop-offs in-store and curbside begin 11/15 in Canada, and 11/27 in the U.S.)
    This year customers of all ages can engage with Nordstrom Santa on their terms – by sending him an email or writing him a letter and dropping it off in-store or via Curbside Pickup. Santa promises to reply before Christmas! This is your kiddo's (and yours!) chance to drop hints on the gifts topping their wish list. You can use your own Holiday stationary, or a printable online template from Nordstrom. Learn more here.  
  • The Holiday Breakfast (select U.S. stores and dates on 12/6, 12/12, 12/13 and 12/19, and 12/12 and 12/19 in Canada)
    Holiday mornings are magical at Nordstrom. This year, we're making them extra warm and fuzzy with a delicious holiday-inspired breakfast in select Nordstrom restaurants, complete with kids' activities, merry music, and festive décor to get the whole family out of the house and in the Holiday spirit. COVID-19 safety precautions will be in place. Tickets are $25 for adults (age 18+), $15 for kids (ages 3-7), and free for children under 2, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting Operation Warm. Purchase tickets here. 
  • Make Merry at Home with FREE printable activity sheets (available now!)
    It's the most wonderful time of the year to cozy up at home and make memories. Visit our Festive Experiences website to print out merry activity sheets, send a letter to Santa, or pull the whole family together (furry friends included) for a holiday portrait in a virtual photo booth. Get started here.
