Hey Santa

Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1399

Hello, hello. Teri here. I have a really fun flash briefing for you today. As you may know, Alexa has a couple of different personalities that you can enable.

But, here is the news for the holiday season. I think this is fantastic. It’s just a lot of fun. You can now enable the Santa Claus personality for the holidays on Alexa.

And once you do that, you can then talk to Santa and ask Santa a whole bunch of questions. Here is how you do it. You say, “Alexa, enable Hey Santa”

That’s the key; Hey Santa. Because then when you want to talk to Santa, you’re gonna say, “Hey Santa” instead of the typical wake word, Alexa.

Once you have enabled this. Now, there are a whole bunch of different things that you can say to Santa. And I’m going to list these out for you now.

Here you go. Have fun with a whole bunch of these. So these are some things that you can say once you have enabled the skill.

You can say, “Hey Santa, sing we wish you a Merry Christmas.”

You can now enable the Santa Claus personality for the holidays on Alexa

You can say, “Sing the 12 days of Christmas.” You can say, “Sing deck the halls.” And you can say, “Sing jingle bells, sing up on the rooftop”, etc.

You can try a whole bunch of songs. Now, that’s not all. You can have conversations with Santa. You can say things like, “Hey Santa, tell me about your reindeer.”

Or, “Hey Santa, what is your favorite food?” How about just, “Happy holidays?” Here are a bunch of other ones too.

“Tell me a story. Tell me the North Pole news. Sing karaoke. What’s your favorite recipe? Can you tell me about your sleigh?”

And, “Am I on the naughty or nice list?” I’m sure you could probably find a whole bunch of others too. So try that out.

Again, “Enable Hey, Santa,” and then start off your command with those two words, “Hey Santa”, and you can have a lot of fun this holiday season.

Have fun with that. Have a wonderful Saturday and I’ll talk to you again tomorrow.
