Voice In Canada Flash Briefing #1039

Hey there, happy Wednesday.

It’s Teri here and we’ve got a couple days leading up to Christmas.

And today I want to tell you about a cool thing that you might want to put on your calendar for Christmas day, particularly if you have ever listened to the Queen’s Christmas address.

You may know that she does this on an annual basis and this year, the Queen has partnered with Amazon Alexa because you are able to listen to her live Christmas address on December 25.

And it’s going to be taking place at 3pm GMT which is 10am Eastern, or even earlier 7am Pacific.

Queen's Christmas Message on Amazon Alexa

And all you do is you simply say, “Alexa, play the Queen’s Christmas Day message”.

Now if you miss it and you want to hear it a little bit later on, because maybe you’re not up at 7am particularly in the West here, then you can ask Alexa later on.

Now if you try that command right now, she will tell you to come back at that time but there you go, kind of fun way to listen to the Queen’s address for the first time on a smart speaker.

So enjoy that, couple of last days leading up to Christmas, hope you’re having a wonderful week and I’ll talk to you again tomorrow.

Take care.
