Virtual Christmas Message

1. What will the Christmas message include?

This Christmas Eve Treat is a delightful personalised message from two of Santa’s favorite reindeer, Merry and Berry, in the North Pole.

Here is an example message:

The reindeer start by introducing themselves and telling the children that the sleigh is all packed. They will be leaving the North Pole with Santa in just a few minutes and should be arriving at your location soon. Since [personalised names] have been so good this year, Santa has asked us to send a special message saying he’s on his way. But remember, to get your presents, you must be sound asleep.

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

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

It is recommended that children watch the video at least 30 minutes before bedtime as the festive excitement might make it hard to sleep!
