Your kids can get personal message from Santa with fun Amazon Alexa trick

SANTA can send a message to you or your kids if you have an Amazon Alexa smart speaker and are looking for Christmas Eve entertainment ideas.

The feature is easy to use and will be sure to get your family in the festive spirit.

How to get a message from Santa on Alexa smart speakers

All you have to do is ask Alexa: "How many days are there until Christmas?"

Your smart speaker will answer and then ask if you would like to hear an update from Santa.

If you say yes, a sweet message from a very jolly Santa is read aloud.

Father Christmas uses the message to promise to keep you up to date with all the festive news.

He also reveals how he's getting ready for all the present giving he's about to do.

Santa's been telling listeners: "Ho Ho Ho, it's the first of December, I'm already very excited about Christmas, are you excited about Christmas?"

You're then encouraged by Alexa to answer yes or no.

If you say yes, Santa will say: "Oh that's excellent, come back tomorrow for another Christmas update."

Alexa can provide even more festive entertainment if you ask the virtual assistant to recite The Night Before Christmas poem.

You can also use Alexa to track Santa and send digital Christmas cards.
