Sadly, Father Christmas is too busy putting the finishing touches on presents to film videos himself.

So instead, he's used AI to help him out spreading some festive cheer to millions of children across the world.

The site allows you to write out any message you want and clever AI tech will automatically generate it into a seamless, talking Santa video.

Each video takes a few minutes to generate so you can watch together or send the link to others.
