How the message works

What Santa says

This is the message for Olivia, who is four and has been kind this year. Yours has your child’s name, words chosen for their age and the thing you pick to praise. It runs for a little under a minute.

On a phone call, Santa also asks what they would like for Christmas and waits for the answer. Tick one box and you get a recording of the whole call, their answer included. Santa’s message is pre-made, not live, and is spoken in a computer-made voice.

Make one for your child

Ho, ho, ho! Hello, Olivia! This is Santa Claus, calling all the way from the North Pole.
Rudolph is here beside me, and his nose is glowing bright red, because he knows we are talking to you. The elves are very busy in the workshop, and they are all waving hello.
Now, Olivia, my elves tell me you have been kind to the people around you this year. Kindness is my favourite thing in the whole world.
It is summer where you are, so I will be packing my sunhat. I love flying over the beaches and the Christmas trees on my way to your house.
Now, I need your help. On Christmas Eve, go to bed nice and early, and you might like to leave a carrot out for the reindeer. They get very hungry.
Well, Olivia, I had better get back to the workshop. Be good, and be kind.
Merry Christmas, Olivia! Ho, ho, ho!

Book it now, or for Christmas Eve

Santa can ring a minute or two after you pay, or at a day and time you choose, between 8am and 8pm New Zealand time. Half past six on Christmas Eve is popular: bath done, pyjamas on, and Santa asking for an early night.

Questions parents ask

All the questions

Is Santa on the line live?

No. It is a message made for your child, in a computer-made Santa voice, that says their name. On a phone call Santa asks what they would like for Christmas and pauses while they answer, but nobody is live on the line and Santa cannot reply to what they say.

Can I get a recording of the call?

Yes, for free. Tick “record the call” when you order and we record the whole call, both Santa and your child, including what they ask for. It is emailed to you a few minutes after the call. Leave the box unticked and nothing is recorded.

How much does a Santa call cost?

A phone call from Santa is $3.79. A Santa message by email is $1.87. Prices are in New Zealand dollars and you pay once, by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

When will the phone ring?

You choose. Santa can ring as soon as the message is ready, usually a minute or two after you pay, or at a day and time you book. Calls are made between 8am and 8pm, New Zealand time.

What if we miss the call?

Santa rings up to 3 times, about 10 minutes apart. If nobody picks up, the message is emailed to you instead, with a page that looks like Santa is calling, so the moment is not lost.

What if it goes to voicemail?

Santa leaves the message on the voicemail, and the same message is emailed to you as an MP3. Turn voicemail off for the evening if you want the phone to keep ringing until someone answers.

“It’s Santa. He’s asking for you.”

Two minutes to book. From $1.87.
