Santa Claus Makes His Annual Visit to WBSM

Santa Claus stopped by the WBSM studio for the third year in a row to take phone calls from all the good little boys and girls of the SouthCoast.

Kids from all over called in to speak to Santa and tell them what they want for Christmas this year.

There were even some special guests who came to the studio to speak with him in person.

Santa also wants to remind the people of the SouthCoast to help out seven-month-old Scarlett, who is this year's Mini Miracle child. WBSM and the United Way of Greater New Bedford are teaming up to help her overcome soft cleft palate and get the surgery she needs to fix it.

If you need a little Christmas magic to get you in the holiday spirit, just give a listen to the podcast:

Merry Christmas from Santa, New Bedford Fire Union Local 841 and WBSM!

Retro to Robo-Santa: AI visualizes what Santa looks like through the ages

Utilizing Freepik’s AI image generator, AI was asked to visualize what Santa looks like in the past and present, and what jolly old St. Nick might look like in years to come.

From a classic, retro Santa to an 80s action star, a 2000s boy bander, a hipster, a woman, and a futuristic robo-Santa, Freepik’s visualizations know no bounds when it comes to what Santa may have looked like and could look like. (Is it weird that I find some of these Santa’s attractive? YIKES!)
