Is your little one worried that Santa won’t find you in your new home? Zillow has added to its Santa House a new feature, “Let Santa Know You Moved,” which allows families to notify Santa of their new address and claim their home on Zillow, ensuring he knows exactly where to deliver gifts.

Moving is stressful for families, and the holidays can bring up new anxiety for children, who may be worried Santa won’t know where to find them on Christmas Day. Now, families can visit the Santa’s House listing on Zillow and click the “Let Santa Know You Moved” button. This magical feature notifies Santa of their new address, and they’ll receive a digital confirmation that it’s been received.

“Celebrating the holidays in a new home is exciting, but can also be overwhelming,” said Amanda Pendleton, Zillow’s home trends expert. “At Zillow, we know moving is hard and we’re always building tools to help make that process less stressful. We also know parents, in particular, take on more stress in a move, which can be compounded by holiday pressures. When families can share their new address with Santa, they can bring some comfort to children during a period of change.”

In addition to notifying Santa, families can take a virtual 3D tour of the Clauses’ North Pole cabin, exploring every cozy corner through an interactive floor plan. High-resolution images of exclusive spaces, such as Santa’s mailroom, a gift-wrapping suite, a custom elf door, a naughty-or-nice detector and a hot cocoa bar, add to the enchantment. A festive virtual treasure hunt further enhances the experience, with more than a dozen holiday items — including mistletoe, fruitcake and 15 other seasonal trimmings — hidden throughout the cabin.

The Clauses first claimed their home on Zillow in 2016, and since then, Santa’s House has become a high-tech holiday tradition. Santa’s House is featured as a Showcase listing on Zillow. It uses the same advanced technology that sellers and agents rely on to highlight a home’s best features. Powered by AI, Showcase listings provide potential buyers with a richer, more immersive experience — allowing them to explore the home virtually before stepping inside.

 

This technology gives visitors to Santa’s House a much better sense of its layout and an easier way to navigate the cabin remotely without a trek to the North Pole. It gives true believers an enchanting yet realistic look inside the Clauses’ magical world.
