How a Santa call works

  1. Tell Santa who it is for

    A first name, an age and one thing to say well done for. That is all we ask about your child.

    Santa rings your phone for $3.79, or sends the message to your inbox for $1.87.

  3. Santa records the message

    It is made for your child in about a minute, and says their name four times.

  4. The phone rings

    Look at the screen, raise your eyebrows and say, “It’s for you.”

How the call works

Villages online

and counting. Every Santa call starts a new one.

Welcome back

Your village is waiting for you

Every phone call adds 10 stars and every emailed message 5. Stars open more plots and better pieces, from a town tree and a Christmas train right up to the mansions.

New this Christmas

Every call builds your Christmas village

Bonus 10 stars to build your village now! Sign up before 1 December and they’re yours, free.

A call from Santa starts a town of your own: empty plots in a snowy valley, and 10 stars to spend on houses, a town tree, a Christmas train or Santa’s sleigh. More calls open more plots and better pieces. Then pin it on the map for the whole country to see.

After you pay we offer to save your village with a code sent to your email or mobile. No password, and you never need to sign in to buy.

What Santa says on the call

These are the words Santa says on a phone call to Olivia, who is four and has been kind this year. Your call has your child’s name, words chosen for their age and the thing you pick to praise.

Halfway through he asks what they would like for Christmas, and waits while they tell him. Tick one box and you get a recording of the whole call, their answer included.

The email message uses the same words without the question, and runs for a little under a minute. 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 there, Olivia! It is Santa Claus, ringing from the North Pole!

It is very busy up here. The elves are wrapping presents so fast, one of them wrapped himself by mistake! We had to unwrap him. He was very surprised.

Now, Olivia, my elves tell me you have been kind to the people around you this year. Kindness is my favourite thing in the world. Even more than biscuits. And I really like biscuits.

So, Olivia, I have a very important question. What would you like for Christmas this year?

Santa waits. Your child tells him what they would like.

Oh, what a wonderful idea! Elves! Write that down, quick!

Now, I need your help with a very important job. On Christmas Eve, go to bed nice and early, and leave a carrot out for the reindeer. Not broccoli. Rudolph tried broccoli once. Never again.

Right, Olivia, I had better go, before the elves eat all the biscuits. 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.
