Our Virtual Santa Visit with Giant Eagle

You guys, I am so excited to share today’s post with you because we did the CUTEST thing the other week. I know Christmas and Santa visits will look a little different this year, but Giant Eagle has seriously come up with the best solution to help bring some magic back to 2020– Virtual Talk to Santa Visits! We’ve been a fan of Giant Eagle since we moved back to Ohio from North Carolina (I love their stores- so clean!) and now I have reason to love them even more as they make a virtual Santa visit even more accessible by buying items you already love!

Talk to Santa Virtually with Giant Eagle

Okay, you’re probably thinking get to the details, Amy. Now through November 26, 2020 if you spend $20 or more on any participating products in a single transaction, then you can upload your receipt to https://www.GiantEagleMagicMemories.com and receive a “Santa Key” for 50% off a virtual Santa visit

We did it with Penelope the other day and she is STILL talking about her chat with Santa. Here is a little bit about how it works.

1. After shopping at Giant Eagle and spending $20 on select products, head here to register and upload your receipt for 50% off your virtual Santa visit. This is 50% off the regular price of a virtual Santa visit and SO much better than waiting in line at the mall (I promise, it’s SO customized and special!)
2. Once you receive your Santa Key, you can book your visit with Santa here. To get started, you pick a time and date that works for you, then all the instructions will be sent via email about how to access your visit. While booking, you’ll also be asked to create an account which allows you to customize your visit by filling out a questionnaire about your little one. It makes the visit SO special.  

First of all, “Santa” is amazing and SO nice. He asked Penelope all about her fur sisters, the new baby and what she wanted for Christmas. I’m sharing some videos I snapped throughout our visit on Instagram stories, so if you’re curious about how it works, head over.

Here are a few key reminders;

1. Don’t forget this promotion for 50% runs between now and November 26^th. You have until December 3, 2020 to upload your receipt for your Santa Key.
2. The $20 spent must be on participating products which you can find here.
3. One receipt = one key, but there is no limit to how many keys you can earn!

Since I knew we wouldn’t be visiting Santa this year in person, this was such an amazing experience. I even made Penelope wear her Christmas dress so that the photos I took would look festive and adorable. One of her favorite parts was waiting for Santa to come on the screen because it was “snowing” and she liked watching it. The whole visit really made me reminisce about the holidays and the magic it brings to sweet kiddos like Poppy. I don’t think I stopped smiling the entire visit (which is appx. 5-10 minutes long depending).

Oh, I forgot the best part, your recording of your virtual Santa visit will be e-mailed to you. I think P’s favorite part was rewatching her and Santa’s conversation!

See now why I love Giant Eagle?! And with that, P and I are off to decorate another Christmas tree (yes, we have multiple). This visit seriously kick-started my excitement for the holidays. I love Christmas and the magic it brings!

Coffee, carols and Christmas trees…what better way to start the day?!
