A key part of the Christmas schedule for Premier League clubs has been the first team's visit to local hospitals to meet and deliver presents to young patients.
The pandemic has prevented these trips this year but, through technology, clubs have still been able to spread Christmas cheer to the children in hospital.
The Toffees used robot telemedicine equipment to speak with youngsters at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
During the two-day virtual visit, the patients and staff were able to chat and wave to their Everton heroes as a robot went around the wards.
