VisitSantaOnline.com co-creator Jill Noonan and Family

We are committed to making VisitSantaOnline.com and its sister-site, WebChatsWithCharacter.com a safe, secure, affordable, convenient, family-friendly experience!

We have multiple layers of protection for our young visitors:

Every Chathost appearing on VisitSantaOnline.com undergoes a series of interviews and training, consistent monitoring while on-line, and has undergone background checks recently or agreed to undergo one specifically to appear on this site.
WebCamCo, Inc. employs quality control administrators who mingle among families to monitor chats in real-time, ensuring they are of the highest quality and adhere to our stringent content guidelines.
VisitSantaOnline.com uses custom-designed webchat software which not only hides Santa and user IP addresses, but allows Santas to quickly and easily kickout and ban users who are detrimental to the family-friendly nature of this site!
All performers are trained to keep chats topical and to NEVER share personal information such as phone numbers and addresses or allow users to!
All users are strongly encouraged to continuously partake in the VisitSantaOnline.com experience with their children at all times!

How Did This Start?

VisitSantaOnline.com was founded to give families a modern alternative to the old-fashioned “trip to see Santa at the mall.” The site’s founders, Jill and Mike Noonan of Naperville, IL, quite literally came up with the concept while standing in a 90 minute line to see Santa with his own children at the mall. “There has to be a better way to do this in this day and age,” says Mike Noonan. “After two trips to the mall that week, having my 2 year old refuse to see Santa at all, and spending a grand total of more than two hours in line, my oldest child spent about 10 seconds with Santa! We paid about $30 for the experience to boot! We said right then and there: Enough is enough!”

Though initially starting as a way to provide relief to families with “mall fatigue,” it was quickly apparent that this new interactive experience could greatly benefit families with children with special needs such as Autism and PTSD, hospital-bound children, and even military families with parents deployed overseas for the holidays. “How great will it be for our brave service men and women serving our country overseas to be able to see their child visit with Santa online?” Mike Noonan wonders. “Or how cool will it be for families with children with perception and anxiety issues to be able to share in the magic of Christmas without all of the chaos at the mall?” adds Jill. Still later the concept proved to be a boon to those performers who wish to spend time with children but can’t for health and other reasons. It is that vision and spirit of helping people in need that has brought such a unique, cutting-edge interactive service to life. Jill sums it up best: “VisitSantaOnline.com is about restoring the magic of Santa and Christmas in the lives of thousands of children of every size and age. VisitSantaOnline.com brings Santa and The Season directly to children, eliminates the hassle for parents, and does it affordably during tough economic times. Nothing ”
