Santa has touched the hearts of one family after he was able to communicate with a young girl via sign language.

In the video the mum is heard saying to Santa "Sorry, she can't talk very well" to the girl on Saint Nick's lap, believed to be three-year-old Mali.

It's reported that Mali struggles with communication and language and learnt sign language at the school she goes to.

So when Santa asks the mum if she can sign, the mum replies "Yeah she can do animals and things like that".

Father Christmas then taps the girl's arm and the two become lost in conversation about her Christmas wish list, which includes a scooter.
