Talk to Santa: California Volunteers Host 'Santa Hotline' Tues-Thurs
From 5 to 9 p.m., kids can call a special hotline three days this week to talk to Santa, Mrs. Claus, elves, Frosty the Snowman and others.

Â
Did you miss Breakfast With Santa last weekend? Just because Santa has headed back to the North Pole doesn't mean that our kids can't talk to him!
"Santa's Hotline" will be available Dec. 18, 19, and 20. Â
