Talk to Santa Claus online

Want to make your child’s Christmas a little more magical? On this page, your child can chat with Santa Claus online, for free. Santa answers from his workshop at the North Pole: he asks whether they’ve been good this year, listens to their wish list and tells them what the elves and the reindeer are up to. Just type in the chat box above to start.

There’s no account to create and nothing to install. It works on a phone, a tablet or a computer.

What children can talk about with Santa

• Their wish list: Santa listens carefully and writes it all down.
• Life at the North Pole: the workshop, Mrs. Claus, the elves, Rudolph and the other reindeer.
• How Christmas works: how the sleigh flies so fast, how Santa gets around the world in one night.
• Their year: what they’re proud of, what they’d like to do better, their friends, their pets.
• Anything they’re curious about: Santa answers with patience and a lot of ho ho hos.

A Santa that’s safe for kids

We designed this Santa with parents in mind:

• No personal information: Santa never asks for an address, a last name or a school, and if a child shares one, he gently tells them not to share those things online.
• No promises about presents: Santa says he’ll write it down and do his best, and that parents help him. No awkward surprises on Christmas morning.
• Kid-friendly at all times: short, kind messages, simple words, nothing scary.
• Honest if asked: Santa plays his part with enthusiasm, but if your child sincerely asks whether he’s real, he gently explains that he’s Yiaho’s digital Santa, an AI that plays Santa for fun. Good to know before you hand over the tablet!

Tips for parents

Sit next to your child for the first few messages, especially if they’re still learning to read and write: you can type for them, then read Santa’s answers out loud together. Younger children love it when you ask Santa a question about their favorite reindeer or their cookie preferences. And if they want to write a real letter to Santa afterwards, the chat makes a great warm-up.
