Virtual Christmas Message

1. What will the Christmas message include?

This Christmas Eve Treat is a gorgeous personalised message from two of Santa’s favourite reindeer Merry and Berry up in the North Pole. 

Here is an example message:

The reindeer begin by introducing themselves and telling the children that the sleigh is all loaded, they will be leaving the North Pole with Santa in a matter of minutes and should be landing in your location soon. As [personalised names] have been so good this year Santa has asked us to send you a little message saying that he is on his way but in order for him to deliver the presents they must be sound asleep. 

Here they will say a personalised message specific to your child or children. Then they will read out a poem to get the children ready for bed and to go through the Christmas Eve checklist. Things like PJs on - check, mince pie and carrots out - check, done your teeth - check!

After that Santa shouts to the reindeer ‘come on you two we have a busy night ahead’, the reindeer say goodbye and run out of shot and the video ends.       

It is advised that children watch the video a least 30 minutes before bed or festive excitement levels may be too high for sleep!
