Milwaukee Public Television’s annual production, Letters to Santa, will air nightly from Monday, December 21, through Thursday, December 24, at 5:30 p.m. on MPTV 10. The daily 30-minute holiday programs will feature children reading letters to Santa and watching Christmas programs.

The theme for this year’s shows is “Unplugged” and features activities that don’t involve electronics, including how to make Christmas cookies, how fun it can be to write a story and a song, how to make and play homemade games, and how to make Christmas decorations.

Students from MATC’s Television and Video Production, eProduction and Animation programs produced the programs, which have been an MPTV staple for decades. >
