A Christmas video card, straight from Santa
Choose a Christmas Eve surprise, a morning reveal, or a thank-you after the holiday. Preview Santa's message before paying, then check the finished video before sharing it.
Ideas for revealing your Christmas video card
These are suggested uses, not reports of customer results. Choose one that fits your family.
Christmas morning reveal
Have the downloaded video ready on your phone before Christmas morning. Choose a quiet moment around stockings or presents, and check the volume before gathering everyone.
Grandparent gift
Write a warm greeting for Grandma or Grandpa, using their name and a real family tradition. Send a copy or sharing link, and help them open it if they need a hand.
Advent calendar surprise
Put an enabled sharing link in day twenty-four of the Advent calendar. Open it on the device you will use before the reveal, and keep a downloaded copy as a backup.
Post-Christmas thank-you
After Christmas, write a Santa greeting thanking the family for a shared moment. Mention the gift only if you know what arrived; avoid promising presents or inventing a reaction.
Prepare, check, and send the card
Choose the moment first. A Christmas Eve greeting can look forward to tomorrow; a morning greeting can wish everyone a happy day. Avoid promises about which gifts Santa will bring. Provide one name and one true detail, or short lines for a family.
Example Christmas Eve script: “Ho ho ho, Maya! Your paper snowflakes have brought a little winter sparkle to the house. I hope you and your family enjoy a cosy Christmas Eve together. Merry Christmas from the North Pole!” This is an illustrative draft; change the name and detail to match the recipient.
Review before paying. Check every name, the occasion and any family detail in the text preview. Keep the script within four hundred characters. This is a text preview; your own video is generated after payment.
Test the finished video. Listen for names and check it on the device you will use. Download the MP4 to keep a local copy, or enable a sharing link. Follow the sending guide for messaging, email and playback options. Check attachments or links open before the reveal.
