Letters & replies
A letter to Santa is what your child writes — wishes, name, and pride. A letter from Santa is the reply. Santa's Voice Message turns the same details into a personalised recording in around 30 seconds, and you can print the message script as a keepsake letter for Christmas morning. A live call is different: your child talks with Santa in the moment instead of reading or listening to a finished letter.
Choose a letter to Santa when you want the tradition of writing. Choose Santa's Voice Message when you want Santa's reply as audio plus a printable letter from the transcript. Choose a live call when your child is ready to speak with Santa directly.

Many families write a letter to Santa, then surprise them with a voice message that uses the same gift and proud moments — and print the script as Santa's letter for Christmas morning. Add a live call when your child wants a conversation, not only a reply.
What to write in a letter to Santa
A letter to Santa is the child's note: name, age, wishes, and something kind they did. A letter from Santa is Santa answering back. Santa's Voice Message is that reply as audio, built from the details you enter — the same lines you might copy from their letter into the form.
After checkout, open your message page and use Print letter from Santa. The transcript is formatted like a North Pole letter your child can read. Turn off browser headers and footers in the print dialog so it fits neatly on one page.
Play the recording at breakfast, tuck a printed letter under the tree, or pair both: hear Santa's voice, then let them read the same words on paper. It works well after they have posted their letter to Santa and are waiting for a reply.
A live Santa call is for children who want to talk back — questions, giggles, and a one-off conversation. You get a recording and transcript for parents afterward, not the decorative printable letter layout on the voice message page.
