A Phone Call from Santa on Christmas Eve: How It Works
Few things beat the phone ringing on Christmas Eve and hearing Santa on the other end. A scheduled Santa call takes the personalized message your child would hear on video and delivers it as a real phone call at the time you choose.
How a Santa call works
- Make your child's personalized Santa message.
- Add the Christmas Eve call and pick a time in your time zone.
- On December 24, your phone rings and Santa speaks to your child by name.
Two styles of call
Santa's message: Santa delivers the personal message start to finish. Santa talks with them: Santa asks your child a few questions ("Have you been helping at home?") and pauses so they can answer, which feels like a real conversation. Nothing is recorded.
Hear Santa say their name, free. Tell Santa about your child and hear a 15-second preview before you pay. Make their message
Picking the right time
- 30 to 60 minutes before bedtime works best: excited, but not overtired.
- Have the phone on speaker and the room quiet.
- Siblings? Santa can speak to each child in turn.
What if we miss the call?
If nobody answers, Santa tries once more a few minutes later, and you'll get a link to play the message instead.
