Forget Mailed Santa Letters: Why Parents Are Switching to Personalized Santa Videos in 2025

Santa letters have been a holiday tradition for decades. Kids write their wish lists, drop them in the mailbox, and weeks later a paper letter shows up "from the North Pole."

It's sweet. It's nostalgic. But for most kids today — who live on video calls, streaming, and YouTube — a letter is nowhere near as magical as it used to be.

The Problem with Old-School Santa Letters

Parents started noticing the same thing:

  • The letter gets a quick glance, maybe a smile… then it's on the fridge or in a drawer.
  • Kids don't talk about it much afterward.
  • It doesn't feel alive or personal — especially in a world where kids are used to video.

So when a new option appeared — a personalized Santa video that talks directly to your child — it spread fast.

Santa, Upgraded: From Paper to Personalized Video

Instead of opening an envelope, kids now hit "play" and see Santa himself on screen. Cozy fireplace in the background. Snow outside the window. And then… Santa says their name.

He might mention:

  • Something they did this year that you're proud of
  • A sibling, friend, or pet who's "on the Nice List" too
  • Their favorite hobby, game, or activity

Suddenly, it doesn't feel like some generic Christmas thing. It feels real.

Why Videos Win Over Letters (Every Time)

  • Video feels alive. Santa moves, smiles, and speaks directly to your child.
  • Kids rewatch it. Once isn't enough. They replay it, memorize it, and show it off.
  • You can capture their reaction. Parents are filming reaction videos — and they're priceless.

Letters had their moment. Personalized Santa videos are the modern version of that tradition — built for how kids experience the world today.

Simple for Parents, Mind-Blowing for Kids

  1. Choose your package. One video, multiple kids, or a full family bundle.
  2. Pick your video length. Keep it quick, or upgrade for deeper personalization and storytelling.
  3. Fill in a few details. Name, age, key facts, and anything special you want Santa to say.
  4. Receive your video. Delivered as a high-quality MP4 you can play anytime.

You control when to show it: before Christmas, on Christmas Eve, or as a surprise after school.

Letters Aren't Gone — They're Just Not Enough Anymore

You don't have to give up the letter tradition if you love it. But for parents who want that extra level of magic — that "how is this even possible?" reaction — the video is where the real upgrade happens.

That's why more and more families are using a letter and a personalized Santa video. The letter warms things up. The video delivers the knockout punch.
