Call Santa with Alexa
If you have an Echo Dot Kids or FreeTime on Alexa, all you have to say is “Alexa, call Santa.” You’ll hear from elves, Jack Frost, and even Santa himself (Each time it may be different, and you’ll often get holiday jokes!). To make sure you’re set up for FreeTime, in your Alexa app, select the Devices icon, then select the compatible Alexa device for which you would like to enable Amazon FreeTime on Alexa. Then tapFreeTime, and follow the on-screen prompts to complete your setup.
Send a SantaGram
This new platform allows kids (with the help of their parents) to create a letter to Santa video. Once it’s uploaded, kids can create their digital wishlist that will be shared along with the video, with family members and friends and the North Pole, of course. There’s also a feature that allows parents to create a personalized video message from Santa! Get more info on how to send a SantaGram here.
Message from Santa! App
The Message from Santa app has tons of features! Parents can help their kids start a video message from Santa, receive a phone call, call Santa’s voicemail, and even text the jolly old elf himself. This is a free app (with in-app purchases for additional features) and is available for iOS and Android devices.
Google Home Call Santa
Use your Google Assistant and Google Home device to call Santa! All you have to say is “Hey Google, call Santa” and you’ll get to hear about how Santa Claus is busy rehearsing for a musical concert—but he only knows one song and needs your help! Kids can also make a call on a Smart Display to see all the fun album covers from the North Pole bands.
Christmas Dialer
Has little Johnny and Susie been good this year? Now you can let Santa do the asking! When you use Christmas Dialer, you can choose for either Santa or one of his elves to place a call to your child. Select one of four different messages, including, “be good,” “on my list,” “something special,” or “sweet dreams.” Parents can use the pre-populated messages or type their own and then place the call right away.
Portable North Pole
The Portable North Pole‘s website and mobile app let creative parents like yourself create customized Santa greetings on video to awe and excite your wee ones. With a few screen taps, answer questions about your child (or children—Santa can address your kids individually or as a group!) and upload some favorite pictures to create a charming message from St. Nick that arrives by email.
