3. Santa Speaking

Santa may be busy this time of year but that doesn't stop you or your kids from speaking to him. He seems to be based in the US though so I'd keep small talk down to a minimum and get straight down to present chat.

5. Santa (Portable North Pole)

Find out if you've been naughty or nice this year by entering your details and receiving a personal message from Santa himself. Whether the kids will work things out is another issue.

6. Yule Play

Nothing is as divisive as Christmas music but for those who love the festive period for the music can make their own personalised playlist using Yule Play with a combination of old and new songs.

7. Mission Green Santa

If you've ever wondered what the effects of global warming have had on Santa and his elves (yes, seriously) then head over to Mission Green Santa to see what you can do to stop Lapland dissolving into the sea.

8. Is it Christmas?

Lastly for those who are sick of advent calendars and the endless barrage of Christmas countdowns. "Is it Christmas" separates the wheat from the chaff and gives you the straight answer you've been looking for. (Hint: 364 days of the year the answer is no).
