Dear Santa at a glance
- Dear Santa (dearsantavideo.com) makes a personalized video message from Santa for a child, about one minute long, delivered by email as an MP4 to watch online or download: a smaller phone copy (720p) or the full-quality HD file.
- Santa says the child's first name, celebrates one good deed from this year, and mentions their Christmas wish. Optional: a sibling, pets, hometown, or favorite treat.
- Price: $14.99 for the video, or $24.99 for the Christmas Bundle (video + printable letter from Santa + Nice List certificate + personalized coloring page). Extra children $9.99 each, up to 3; each child gets their own separate video.
- One-time payment. No subscription, no app, and no account needed.
- Delivery: a live estimate is shown before you pay; on a normal day well under an hour, a few hours at the December peak. Order by Dec 24 at noon PT for delivery by Christmas.
- Love it or your money back: full refund of the whole order (including any extra children) within 14 days of delivery, and a free remake if a name is mispronounced.
- Santa is an original AI-animated character with a synthetic voice. Every video is G-rated, screened before Santa speaks, and Santa never promises a specific gift.
- Operated by Work And Play LLC, California, USA. Support: help@dearsantavideo.com.
Questions
Is it safe and appropriate for kids?
Yes. Every video is G-rated and gentle: no scary moments, no ads, and no product plugs. Every name and detail you enter is automatically screened for inappropriate language before Santa says it. Just Santa, warmly talking to your child.
What do you do with my child's information?
We only collect a first name, age, a good deed, a wish, and, if you choose, a few fun details like favorite treat, and pet names, and only from the adult placing the order. We use it to make the video and letter, then delete your child's details from our order records as soon as we deliver. We keep your email only to send one reminder to save your files. Your files stay available until January 7 after Christmas (or 14 days after delivery, if that's later) so you can download them, then they're deleted automatically.
Do you need a photo of my child?
No. We never ask for photos, last names, addresses, or schools. A first name is enough.
Who places the order?
An adult: a parent, grandparent, or other gift-giver. The service is for adults and is not directed to children.
Is the video private?
Yes. It arrives as a private link in your email and is not posted anywhere. You decide who sees it.
Will Santa promise my child a specific gift?
Never. Santa says he's written the wish down and the elves will do their best, so you stay in control of Christmas morning.
