Video holiday cards: choose a greeting that fits the family
A family phone recording and a Santa greeting serve different occasions. This service makes AI Santa videos, so check that Santa fits the recipient's celebration before writing a message or paying.
Choose the format for your household
Start with the recipient and occasion, then choose the recording or card format.
Let the occasion decide
Ask whether Santa belongs in this greeting. A warm script cannot change the character on screen. For a household that does not celebrate Christmas, a family phone recording may fit better.
Choose who should appear
A phone recording lets relatives see your family. An AI Santa card puts Santa on screen instead. Choose the messenger the recipient would enjoy, rather than treating either format as an upgrade.
Decide who shares one message
One family greeting works when everyone shares the same occasion and tone. Use separate messages for different households if the details need to change. Each separately generated Santa video requires payment.
Write one greeting a whole household can share
Choose a shared detail. Mention a family walk, a new pet, or a meal together. Get permission before including news such as a pregnancy or a move. Skip inside jokes that would confuse the people receiving the card.
Illustrative Santa script: “Ho ho ho, Ava, Ben and Grandma Rose! I hear your kitchen has been full of gingerbread this week. I hope you have a cosy holiday together, with time for stories and a good laugh. Warm wishes from the North Pole!” Use this only if Santa and the detail fit your family.
Check the group before sending. Make sure every intended person is included, names are spelled correctly, and the holiday wish suits everyone. Keep the whole Santa script within four hundred characters. For longer individual messages, consider separate videos and check current pricing; each generated video is paid for separately.
Check the delivery. Download the finished MP4 or enable its sharing link, then test it on the intended device. The sending guide covers sharing with relatives. A shared link does not require a new video for every viewer.
