Santa Calls

Watch the excitement when your child receives a call from Santa Claus! Santa wants to make your child feel
special this holiday season with an unforgettable gift: A personalized phone call from Jolly Old St. Nick himself!

Imagine how surprised they'll be to receive a call from Santa. Watch their eyes light up with amazement as
Santa lets them know how special they are.



Join the Billerica Recreation Department this holiday season to provide a unique and memorable holiday
experience for your whole family in the comfort of your own home. Santa will be calling Billerica children

on Wednesday, December 14th between the hours of 6:00pm - 8:00pm. If Santa misses you, he will
leave a message. Program is geared towards children ages 3-10.



Due to overwhelming popularity of this program, this program is open to Billerica children only and spaces
are limited. *Each child who will speak to Santa must be registered.



Please note, Santa might be calling from his personal cell phone. His caller ID will likely appear as restricted.
Please pick up restricted numbers during the calling time so you do not miss your call.
