Join WITF for a heartwarming film that delves into the festivities and wonder of Christmas through the people that keep the magic alive, passing on holiday excitement and happiness to future generations.
As Christmas approaches, children everywhere wait in anticipation for the opportunity to meet their holiday hero, Santa Claus. Since he can’t be in every single shopping mall, he entrusts his legacy to a select number of highly trained “experts” around the world, who attend intensive workshops to learn everything required to make the perfect Santa Claus.
One such workshop is the Northern Lights Santa Academy in Atlanta, Georgia, the largest Santa school in the Southeastern United States, serving potential Santa Clauses, Mrs. Clauses and Santa’s Helpers — from a variety of ages and backgrounds — across the country.
Following six trainees over four days as they learn to dress, walk, and talk like Santa. But who are they and what inspires them to take this path? Find out in this festive film!
Watch Santa School Sunday December 19 at 8:45pm and Friday December 24 at 9:45pm on WITF. The program is not available for on-demand viewing.
