Hello Santa Claus

Santa opens his Nice List, and finds your children's names.

Personalised Santa videos for up to six children

Free: track Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve

A personalised video message from Santa — Father Christmas himself. He reads each child's name, talks about what they love and what they've done this year, and their photo appears in his golden book.

£8.99 for one child, then 50p for each extra name — up to six. Emailed to you within 24 hours.

Watch a sample Santa video

This is a 38-second preview. Your full video is about 7 minutes long for one child, and a little longer for each extra name, because every child gets their own part.

A short preview of a real Hello Santa video, made for two of our own children. Yours has your children's names and photos. What's said in the sample

One Santa video for brothers, sisters and cousins

Ordering for more than one child? Put them all in the same family video, up to 6. Santa gives each child their own part: he finds their name in his golden book, shows their photo if you send one, talks about what they love and, if you tell him, what made him proud this year. Then he wishes them all a merry Christmas together, by name.

Grandparents: it's perfect for all your grandchildren, even if they live in different homes. One video, every name in Santa's book.

  1. Tell Santa about your children. Their first names, what they love, something they've done this year that made you proud, and a photo if you'd like one in his golden book.
  2. Santa opens his Nice List. In your personalised video message, Santa (Father Christmas himself) finds each child's name, talks to them about the things they love and tells them how proud he is.
  3. It arrives by email. Your finished video is emailed to you within 24 hours to watch together, download and keep. It's £8.99 for one child, and one video can include up to 6 brothers, sisters and cousins.

Questions

When will my video arrive?

Within 24 hours of paying, by email from [email protected]. You'll get an order confirmation straight away, then a second email with a link to watch the video.

I can't find the email

Please check your spam or junk folder (and the Promotions tab in Gmail). Our emails sometimes end up there. If you find it, mark it "not spam" so the video email reaches your inbox. Still nothing? Email [email protected] with your order number.

How many children can be in one video?

Up to 6. It's £8.99 for one child, then 50p for each extra name.

Can I order for my grandchildren?

Yes, and lots of grandparents do. Put all your grandchildren in one video, up to 6, even if they're from different families. The video is emailed to you, so you can watch it, download it and send it to the whole family. Please check with their parents first that they're happy for you to use the children's names and photos.

Do I have to add a photo?

No, photos are optional. Without one, Santa's book shows the child's name on its own.

What happens to the photos and details?

They're used only to make your video. Photos, the video and your children's details are deleted 30 days after it's delivered. Our order backups never include photos, and any copy of the details in them is gone 14 days later. How we look after your details.

How long can I watch it?

The link works for 30 days, so please download the video to keep it.

What if something isn't right?

Reply to your video email with your order number and we'll remake it free of charge. If we can't put it right, we'll refund you. Terms.

Is this a Father Christmas video?

Yes. Santa and Father Christmas are the same jolly fellow, so this is a personalised Father Christmas video message, made here in the UK for your family and emailed to you within 24 hours.

Is it really Santa?

Santa's voice and video are made with computer-generated (AI) tools. If anything in your video isn't right, just reply to the email and we'll put it right.
