Make Holiday Memories Together With ViewClix

Helping aging parents and grandparents feel included during the holidays takes extra thought when distance, travel, or busy schedules keep everyone apart. Sharing traditions, photos, and conversations gives loved ones more opportunities to participate throughout the season.

ViewClix makes those connections easier with video calls, photo and video sharing, and PhotoChat. Here are three ways to use those features to bring family together and make the holidays more enjoyable, wherever everyone is celebrating.

1. Share a holiday activity over a video call.

 Give your next call a holiday purpose. Invite grandparents to judge a gingerbread-house contest, offer advice on a family recipe, or watch the grandchildren open the gifts they sent. Having something to do together gives the conversation a natural starting point.

With auto-answer enabled, the ViewClix Smart Frame automatically joins incoming video calls. Your loved one can enjoy seeing everyone without navigating an app or figuring out which button to press.

Agree on a time beforehand and position your phone so they can see the activity clearly. Give them a chance to weigh in, too. A cookie-decorating contest deserves a judge with strong opinions about frosting.

2. Keep the holiday photos and videos coming.

Share pictures and short videos as the season unfolds. The decorations going up, a school concert, and the first batch of holiday baking all give grandparents a chance to follow what the family is doing.

Family members can send photos and videos to their loved one’s ViewClix frame using the ViewClix app. Try asking each household to share one holiday update a week. That spreads the fun across the family and gives your loved one something new to enjoy.

Include a few moments they’ll especially appreciate: a grandchild wearing the sweater they gave them, their favorite recipe on the table, or a video greeting addressed just to them. Follow up on your next call so they can ask questions and hear the details.

3. Use PhotoChat to share the stories behind holiday photos.

ViewClix's PhotoChat lets families look at photos together during a video call. Bring out a few pictures from past holidays and invite your loved one to tell the stories behind them.

Ask who hosted the celebration, which gift caused the most excitement, or who convinced everyone to wear those matching sweaters. Let the grandchildren ask questions, too. Finding out what their parents were like as kids can be surprisingly entertaining.

Choose a handful of photos and leave time for conversation. You might learn about a holiday food, game, or family tradition worth bringing back this year.

Start with whichever idea your loved one would enjoy most. A regular call, a few fresh photos, or time spent sharing memories can become something everyone looks forward to. With ViewClix, families have simple ways to keep that connection going throughout the holidays and into the new year.
