Ask Santa Anything App

When we think about the holiday season, many of our typical activities happen inside of our home. Between baking cookies, family meals around the dining room table, curling up by the fireplace on a cold night, gathering on the couch to watch movies or simply relaxing and enjoying time off from work and school, we spend a lot of family time indoors during the holiday season.

This year, spice up your holiday routine by adding a few outdoor activities that the entire family can enjoy together. Make to-go cups of hot cocoa and enjoy them during a neighborhood walk. Check out all of the holiday lights and get some fresh air!

While you're out, try meeting Santa through your phone! Ask Santa Anything is a new Augmented Reality (AR) experience from Niantic, the makers of Pokémon GO. It uses AR and Artificial Intelligence (AI) to bring the magic of Santa to families wherever they are. Just open the app in your phone's web browser, and go outside and point your phone to the sky. Then, ring Santa’s bell and he’ll beam down to you. Ask him anything! Santa can use AI to answer all of your most pressing holiday questions.
