In partnership with veteran Santa Timothy Connaghan, founder of School4Santas and owner of one of the largest Santa booking agencies in the U.S., Old Navy's Santa training program will be a 30-minute immersive virtual course. According to the company, trainees can expect to learn the fundamentals of becoming Santa, how to respond to children's frequently asked Santa questions, key phrases in both sign language and Spanish, and more. Registration is free online and the training will take place on Nov. 19.

\"It's not the red suit or white hair and beard that create holiday magic, it's what you have in your heart,\" said Connaghan in a statement. \"A good Santa should spread joy and exude the holiday spirit, regardless of their appearance.\"
