Questions parents ask

Will Santa promise a specific present?

Never. Santa hints warmly ("I'll see what the elves can do") so there are no surprises on Christmas morning.

What if Santa says the name wrong?

There's a "how to say it" box on the form. And if anything's off, press "Fix something" on your download page and the elves redo it free.

How do I keep the magic safe?

Download the video and play it on the TV or your phone, full screen. Your child sees Santa and their name, not a website.

How fast is it?

The preview plays right away. The full message, video and printables are usually ready within 5 minutes of paying.

What do you do with my child's information?

We only ask for a first name and a few fun details, typed by you. Never a child's photo, last name or email. We delete order details after the holiday season. See our privacy policy.

Do you sell gifts too?

Yes! Santa's Gift Shop has over 100 gifts with their name on them: ornaments, stockings, matching family pajamas, blankets, mugs and more, made to order and shipped all year. There's even an ornament that plays Santa's message when you scan it.

Last day to order?

Right up until midnight on Christmas Eve (Pacific time), videos included. Santa's message usually arrives within a few minutes of ordering. Adding the Christmas Eve phone call? Just pick a call time at least 15 minutes after you order.
