RATON, Fla., May 10, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- Grom Social Enterprises, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: GROM),
Curiosity Ink Media, its pipeline for original intellectual
property (IP) development and content creation, today confirmed the
fall return of Santa.com, the company's digital
online hub, where kids and adults can shop and experience the
joys of the holiday season in a one-stop, modern update of the
classic department store that pulls out all the stops when
celebrating the merriest time of year.
The return of Santa.com this year and the
addition of e-commerce place Grom and Curiosity squarely in the
booming e-tail business.
The return of Santa.com this year and the addition of
ecommerce (delayed last year due to global supply chain concerns)
place Grom and Curiosity squarely in the booming e-tail business
and gives the company a chance to participate in the explosive and
growing holiday retail market, projected to top $1 trillion this year. Last year, consumer
holiday spending climbed an unprecedented 16.1% over 2020 and
forecasts for 2022 anticipate ecommerce sales to increase 15.5% to
nearly $235.86 billion in holiday
sales. *
Designed to bring users the fun and excitement of Christmas
through content aimed at easing the stress and maximizing the
overall enjoyment of the season, the newly-designed
Santa.com unwraps sleighfuls of DIY holiday experiences for
visitors who are looking to deliver magic to their families and
friends. With easy to navigate features for gift giving,
entertaining, decorating as well as games and a digital North Pole
experience, Santa.com has something for everyone. For
kids, Santa.com will offer a special place to
build wish lists and engage with the magical fun of the North
Pole.
Visitors to Santa.com will have access to a treasure
trove of holiday-themed content, all of which underscores the magic
of the season. From Mrs. Claus's favorite recipes to classic
traditions, hosting tips to setting the tone through curated
holiday playlists, the site blends fresh editorial content,
eye-catching graphics and original video entertainment.
In collaboration with publishing partner Dynamite Entertainment,
Curiosity will also be launching four holiday books: How The
North Pole Works, Snow Boy, The Adventures of Herbert Henry, Santa's Secret Society and
Baldwin's Big Christmas Delivery. Additionally, the
company is in development on an original, animated musical holiday
feature film, inspired by annual classics like "Rudolph The Red
Nosed Reindeer" and "Elf." The special will focus on Santa's
efforts to modernize his North Pole workshop with the help of some
technical upgrades.
