Santa Claus is busy in the run up to Christmas.

The excitement for the big day is building around the world, and the North Pole is no exception. The elves make sure that all the toys are collected and ready for delivery, while the reindeer play reindeer games and prepare for their journey around the world. Meanwhile, Santa checks his list again, cleans Rudolph’s nose, and makes sure all the toys are packed in his big red sack and loaded onto the sleigh. But that doesn’t mean he’s out of reach!

This is how your children can get updates from Santa Claus and the North Pole in the run up to Christmas.

Santa is coming to town

Before he loads his sleigh, check in with the big man to see what he, his elves and his reindeer are up to using your smart speaker.

Just say “Hey Google…”:

  • “What’s Santa doing?”
  • “What’s happening at the North Pole?”
  • “Call Santa.”

The function is built into the Google Home devices. Amazon Alexa users must enable the holiday-related skill on the device before it can be used.
