AT&T Is Using Facebook Live to Let Kids Interact With Santa Claus Before Christmas

Old-school tradition with new-wave tech

According to Possible's back-of-the-napkin math, around 6.6 million American children in the next year will decide that Santa Claus isn't real. The ad agency, working for client AT&T, wants to help keep the dream alive for kids this weekend with a little tech.

The endeavor, called Santa Live, starts today at noon ET on AT&T's Facebook page. Mrs. Claus and a group of elves will run around the scene preparing for Christmas as their theatrical companion, Santa Claus, holds court.
