Ok, technically it's not a 1-900 number, but I looked it up and it was a pay for the minute call in New York at the time. It doesn't say that anywhere on the ad and they're hoping some kid will just call this number wanting to talk to santa (or strangely Mrs. Claus). Oh man... I just realized why it's Mrs Claus... This company also had sleazy "love" hotlines and would just change the narrative based on if they wanted to talk to Ms. Claus or Naughty Sarah...

Here is a screenshot showing this phone number along with the other trashy pay by the minute lines: https://twitter.com/junknasium/status/1728201242370101720

This 80s commercial comes from a Fox 5 WNEW-TV New York broadcast of She-Ra. She-Ra is He-Mans twin sister, obviously. It was taped around Christmas 1985. Here is the full commercial compilation: https://youtu.be/SHXBexUiSt4
