Holiday Story Ideas & Interview Topics

What Is It Like to Be Santa Claus?

What goes into preparing for a season of Christmas appearances? What responsibilities come with portraying someone children recognize and trust?

Explore the person behind Santa, the preparation before an appearance, and the importance of giving each interaction attention—even during a busy event.

Why Visiting Santa Still Matters

For some families, a Santa visit is an annual tradition. For others, it’s a child’s first introduction to a familiar Christmas character.

An interview can explore what families hope to experience, how traditions connect generations, and why a brief conversation can become a lasting memory.

Helping Children Feel Comfortable with Santa

Some children arrive with a list and plenty to say. Others need time to watch from a parent’s side.

This topic offers a practical angle for family coverage: allowing children to approach at their own pace, easing the pressure around photographs, and recognizing that a meaningful visit can take many forms.

The Questions Children Ask Santa

How do reindeer fly? What happens at the North Pole? Does Santa have a favorite cookie?

Children’s questions offer opportunities for humor, imagination, and thoughtful conversation. Discuss how Santa listens and responds while respecting families’ traditions and children’s privacy.

Santa Beyond the Mall

Santa is part of tree lighting ceremonies, Christmas parades, community gatherings, photography sessions, and holiday fundraisers.

Explore how Santa’s role changes from one setting to another—and how organizers can make his appearance part of a meaningful community celebration.

Creating Christmas Photographs Families Treasure

What makes a Santa photograph feel personal?

A feature can explore the interaction behind the image: a shared laugh, a curious expression, or a child telling Santa something important. This angle can also complement interviews with local photographers and families.

Consider a conversation about celebrating kindness, recognizing community helpers, and making room for the spirit of giving alongside the excitement of receiving gifts.
