A familiar roofline
Use a clear exterior photo so the arrival takes place around your own house, porch and decorations.
The rooftop arrival
Reindeer pull a sleigh above a lit house, then Santa stands in the sleigh on the roof and speaks to camera.
A bedtime arrival outside your own home
This Christmas Eve message from Santa starts from a photo of your house rather than a portrait. The roofline, front entrance and decorations guide the setting as a reindeer sleigh arrives overhead. Santa then appears in the sleigh on the roof and speaks a short, friendly greeting to camera.
Enter one first name or two siblings’ names. Santa says the supplied name and gently invites them to settle into bed. The clip contains a fictional Santa character with a newly generated voice. It is a downloadable video you can play when you choose; it is not a live call or footage from a security camera.
The roof, the sleigh and the spoken name
The selected scene keeps one clear idea: Santa has reached the house on Christmas Eve. The arrival begins above the roof, with the house still recognizable, before moving closer to Santa and his sleigh. There are no children, residents or additional people in the scene.
Your upload supplies the house and its visible exterior. Santa, the reindeer, the sleigh and the night setting are generated for the clip. The name field changes the spoken greeting; it does not add captions or edit a name onto the house.
The finished video is about 10 seconds in vertical 9:16 at 720p. Sound includes a new Santa voice, gentle sleigh bells and quiet outdoor ambience, without music. The public preview lasts 12.256 seconds and keeps its native 4:7 frame; the generated clip uses the 10-second vertical output described above.

Choose a useful house photo
- Use one clear photo of a house you own or have permission to photograph. Include enough sky above the roof for the sleigh’s arrival.
- Photograph the whole roofline and front entrance from a steady position. A very tight doorway crop gives the scene less room to work with.
- Keep people out of the image. This template uses the photo as a setting and does not turn anyone into Santa.
- Use first names or nicknames only. Leave out surnames, exact addresses, school names and private personal details.
- Check the spoken name and the house before sharing. An unusual pronunciation can be entered phonetically for a new generation.
Christmas Eve message questions
How do I make a Christmas Eve message from Santa?+
Upload one exterior house photo, enter a first name or two siblings’ names, and generate. Santa arrives in a sleigh above the roof, then speaks a gentle bedtime greeting. Download the completed clip to play when you choose.
Can I use a photo of our actual house?+
Yes. Use a clear exterior photo showing the roofline and entrance, with nobody visible. The photograph supplies the house setting rather than a person or Santa’s identity.
What does Santa say?+
Santa says the supplied name, warmly says he has arrived, and gently invites the listener to settle into bed. The short English line is newly generated for the clip, with synchronized mouth movement.
Can I add two names?+
Yes. Enter two short first names or nicknames, such as Mia and Leo, within the 40-character limit. Do not put directions or a full script in the name field.
Do I need a photo of my child?+
No. Upload only an unoccupied exterior house photo. The video does not contain your child, a child’s portrait or other residents.
Is there a free Christmas Eve message from Santa?+
Each generation on this template uses 10 ReelTada credits. The current credit packs and prices appear in the purchase dialog. There is no free generation on this page.
How long is the video?+
The generated clip is about 10 seconds in vertical 9:16 at 720p. The public preview is a 12.256-second example in its native 4:7 frame.
Does the download include Santa’s voice?+
Yes. The finished clip includes newly generated Santa speech, gentle sleigh bells and outdoor ambience. It does not copy the preview’s recorded voice or add a song.
Can I write a custom letter or full Santa script?+
This template accepts a name, not a letter or a custom script. It makes the rooftop arrival and a short bedtime greeting. No printable letter, subtitles or editable house text are included.
Is this a live Santa call or a tracking service?+
No. It creates a short AI video that you download and play yourself. It does not call anyone, track Santa’s location or access a home camera.
How is this different from the other Santa video?+
The Christmas Eve scene begins outside with a sleigh arriving at your roof and a bedtime greeting. Personalized Santa Video uses an indoor room photo and offers a kind message around the tree, fireplace or doorway.
Can I share the video on WhatsApp?+
You can download the finished vertical video and share it in a chat or post it where you have permission to share the house image. Review the name and private details first.
