You may never quite catch him in the flesh on Christmas Eve, but Santa's coming to life in a whole new way this year thanks to a project by cloud communications platform Twilio.
Parents can now give their little ones the chance to have a personal phone chat with an adorably squeaky-voiced elf from the North Pole through the SantaPhone project.
The project allows people to schedule a phone call anytime between now and Dec. 25 by listing their name, email and mobile phone number.
Mashablerang the SantaPhone line and spoke with Santa's Helper #30012, an automated chat bot whose painfully cute vocals sounded sort of like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
He asked what we wanted for Christmas this year, and after a dial tone, we told him. It was a fun little experience that also happens to be totally free, as a Twilio rep confirmed to Mashable.

With a brand new way for children to give their annual gift list, the SantaPhone could be the 'Dear Santa' wish list of the future.
