Santa Claus has made his return to Messenger Kids, loading up his sleigh with a host of other holiday-related features.

Parents in Australia, Canada and the U.S. can message their kids as Santa, with North Pole as the location, and receive return messages, with those message threads remaining open through Jan. 6.

Only the parent who created the Messenger Kids account can activate, control and use the Santa experience with their child.

Once it is activated, Santa will show up as a contact for the child and a thread for the parent.
