The screen crackled a little and then came into focus, revealing a man with a white beard and kind, sparkling eyes, dressed in red. My daughter’s face lit up with surprise and wonder when the man begin to speak.
“Hello, Megan!” his voice boomed. I love Santa and the magic he brings, and he did just that in our very first video from Portable North Pole (PNP) video. PNP lets adults makes free personalized video messages from Santa that are sent to your smartphone and computer. It brings a bit of magic from the North Pole to wherever you like.
My daughter received her first PNP years ago, when it first started eight years ago. I was an early adopter, and all on my own. When they reached out and asked if I wanted to share PNP and that one of my readers could win a free code, I said “yes,” in large part because my daughter, who is now 13, said the other night, “No video from Santa this year?”
PNP is a holiday favorite and tradition in our house. At random times throughout the year one of us will say, “Hello, Megan!” in our best booming Santa voices, which never come anywhere close to how he says but the attempt always makes us laugh.
We’re definitely not alone. Over 100 million PNP videos have been viewed worldwide. Check out a sample video here:
I love that it’s not scary at all and very positive. This message from Santa promotes and reinforces good behavior, in a kind and encouraging way.
PNP is available an app for iOS here and for Android here. The mobile app includes the Kids Corner designed for little ones to view their Santa messages and play exclusive games where you sort gifts by color, shake ornaments off a tree, and interact with the funny elves.
There is also a grown up version for big kids, too, and that’s a big hit in our house! The two minutes of footage and personal customizations are an entertaining way to spread the cheer all season amongst friends, family, colleagues, and romantic interests.
You can make your video for free, but there are also upgrade to a Gold Pass that gets you unlimited premium videos and unlimited calls. So fun! Enter here, and good luck!
I hope that PNP is as big a hit in your house as it has been in mine! May Santa bring joy and magic to us all!
