One Mom's TikTok is going viral after her daughter revealed to one of her classmates that Santa isn't real.

Anali Perez and her daughter Elliana are at the center of the heated discussion.

The TikTok, which has over 5 million views and over 400k likes, shows the two in the car, presumably after the school day.

The conversation was initially prompted because Elliana's teacher had emailed Anali about the incident earlier that day.

"What were you telling the kids today?" she asks her daughter.

"That Santa wasn't real," she responds.

Perez asks the question why, with which Elliana continues: "Because they thought that Santa was real, and I said 'No, he is not real.'"

Jax, the older brother of Eliiana, was in the backseat with her when she explained how everything went down.

He was quick with his interpretation of the situation, chiming in with, "Now those kids are going to go home and have the worst Christmas ever."

The first TikTok can be viewed below.

The video has now started a rather heated exchange on the platform and in the parenting community.

Santa is obviously a touchy subject, and there are many ways to deal with the magic surrounding him during the holidays.

However, many have been asking: Just because you don't believe in Santa, does that mean you should be ruining it for others that do?

Anali stands firm in her daughter's actions.

"Everyone has different beliefs. Her intentions were not to offend or hurt kids' feelings. However, she is 100% allowed to voice her own opinion as well."

Commenters on TikTok leaned both ways.

One user said, "that's awesome... my son told the classmate there is no Easter bunny and got suspended for a week .. lol."

But others were quick to jump in and side with the brother/son, who felt that letting others experience the magic of Santa should be the role of others.

"My kids are 30 at 22, and to this day I still say "If you don't believe, you don't receive" 😂 It works, we definitely have kept the spirit 🎅🏻" one commenter said.

Another said, "the boy seems to be a sweet kid with empathy for others."

The comments on TikTok are turning into a war zone. Still, this will be a conversation that never sees an actual resolution

What do you think? Should we allow our kids to express their disbelief in Santa to others, or should this be kept within the family and not discussed with peers? Let us know your thoughts on the matter in the comments below.
