TO celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, First News is running an online advent calendar on First News Live! until Christmas Day.

We’ve got 25 festive treats wrapped up in the form of fun videos, celebrity shout-outs, Christmassy galleries (prepare for a parade of pups in Santa hats) and other surprises, ready and waiting for you! All you have to do is open the new “door” each day.

And behind DOOR NUMBER 24 (Christmas Eve)…

Drum roll, please.

It’s only an interview with the one and only Santa Claus!

LOADS of you got in touch on PopJam to submit your questions for the big guy and we asked him pretty much all of them – even the downright bizarre ones (we heart you guys!).

So, what’s Santa’s fave Christmas film? Does he like cats? Would he ever consider a glitter beard? WATCH the video above to find out.

We also challenged Santa and his elves (that’s right; Santa brought an entourage of elves with him to First News HQ) to our brand new 60 Second Selfie Challenge. Prepare for some serious laughs! Click on the link below to watch the video.

More festive fun!
