Your kids can talk to Santa tomorrow night through The North Portal, built by Glenveagh

Make your Christmas Eve special and support a good cause.

CHRISTMAS EVE IS one of the most special nights of the year in many households across Ireland.

Whether it’s leaving mince pies and milk out for Santa, huddling around to read The Night Before Christmas, or hanging the star on the tree, we’ve all got our own Christmas Eve traditions.

This year, you can add another, thanks to the North Portal, built by Glenveagh. The North Portal is an innovative and screen-friendly way for kids to have fun on Christmas Eve, opening a portal to the North Pole through which they can tell Santa what it is they want for Christmas, hear messages from St Nick himself, and apply for their official North Portal Certificate.

North Portal

The way to use the portal is very simple. You just visit thenorthportal.ie and hit ‘Talk To Santa’ to activate the technology. The site is live now, and it works the very same way as it did last year.

The North Portal is a special solution to a modern challenge. Many modern homes, including all those with an A-rated BER, don’t have chimneys. The North Portal is the perfect way for Santa to be able to deliver presents to homes across Ireland, even those without chimneys.

Glenveagh has brought the portal to several real-life installations, including shopping centres, where it always proves a hit with kids, giving parents a guaranteed way to provide some unique excitement on Christmas Eve.

Not only is the North Portal perfect for building excitement on Christmas Eve, but it’s also for a good cause. Every single time you open the Portal, Glenveagh Homes will make a donation to the Jack and Jill Foundation, as part of their ‘Home for Christmas’ appeal.

The Jack and Jill Foundation is a nationwide foundation that funds and provides care and support to families caring for children up to the age of seven with severe learning disability, often associated with complex medical needs.

It’s the perfect way to embrace the excitement of Christmas, so head on over to thenorthportal.ie now to speak to Santa, support The Jack and Jill Foundation and kick off Christmas with a sprinkling of magic.
