    First name, how to say it, age, and three small things: something they did this year, a friend or pet, something they are working on. Two minutes.

  2. Pay once, no account

    $7.99 by card on Stripe. Add extras if you like. You get a private link to your order, and an email if you gave one.

  3. Watch it in about an hour

Questions

How long does it take?

About an hour. Your order page shows "paid", then "making your video", then the player. If you added an email we send the link when it is ready. Keep the order link: it is the only way back to your video.

Is my child's information private?

Yes. There is no account and nothing is posted anywhere. We use what you type only to make the video. The video, the drawing and everything you typed are deleted 30 days after your video is ready, so download it to keep it. The video is made with computer-generated pictures and voice, and we check every video before you see it.

What if my child's name is unusual?

Type how it sounds in the "How to say it" box, for example "SEER-sha" or "Nah-OH-mee". We check the name in every video before you see it. If we cannot get it right, contact us and we will make it again or refund you.

What if I am not happy with it?

Email hello@gethollyhush.com within 30 days. If the name is wrong or something is off, we fix it or refund you. We review every video that fails our checks, and if we cannot make yours right, contact us and we will remake it or refund you. Refunds are not automatic: we handle them when you ask.

Will Santa promise a gift?

No. If you add a gift hint, Santa mentions it in a way that does not promise anything, so you stay in charge of Christmas morning.

What is the difference between Animated and Cinematic?

Same story, two looks. Animated is a bright storybook cartoon and is the default. Cinematic is a warmer, film-style look. Pick one when you order. The samples above are the same made-up child, Maya, in each look.

Do I need an account or an app?

No. You order on this site, pay on Stripe, and watch on the order page in any browser.

What do the extras do?

Drawing on Santa's desk (+$1.99): Upload your child's drawing and it sits on Santa's desk in the video. Sibling in the same video (+$3.99): A second child gets named and gets their own moment. Longer personal message from Santa (+$1.99): Santa talks longer about the things you tell us. HD 1080p download (+$1.99): A full 1080p file to keep and share.
