What is the Video From Santa AI trend?

A personalised video from Santa is a short clip of Santa Claus at his desk in the North Pole, looking into the camera and talking to your child by name. On this page, Santa says exactly the words you type, in a warm, jolly Santa voice, his mouth moving with every word.

How it works: Santa is already here, so there's no photo to add. Type what he says, with your child's name and one real thing from their year ("I heard you learned to ride your bike, Leo!"), or tap one of the ideas and change the name. You get a free preview still of Santa first, then the video, up to about 15 seconds, as long as the words. It's 100 credits, charged only when it's ready.

Make one for each child, a niece or nephew, or a whole class. Download it and play it on the TV on Christmas Eve, or send it to grandparents. For you in a Christmas scene instead, see a selfie with Santa; for your pet, make your pet talk (it has a Christmas song).
