HELP & FAQ
Everything you need to know before creating your MagiClaus video.
Practical answers on personalisation, photos, pricing and the finished film – so you can decide with a clear picture.
About MagiClaus
What is MagiClaus?
MagiClaus is a personalised Father Christmas video made around your child. Santa can use their name, details from their year and their photograph, so the film feels addressed to them.
How is it different from a generic Santa video?
A generic greeting can drop in a first name. MagiClaus is built so interests, memories and a photo can sit inside a coherent story. See What makes it personal for that difference.
Is every video personalised?
Yes. Each film is made for the child you describe. Two children with different notes and photos should not receive the same story with only the name changed.
How does MagiClaus work?
You share a few details and a clear photo. Those notes are woven into a designed Santa story, and the photo can appear in the film. The steps are on How it works.
What do I need before I start?
At least your child’s name, a few personal notes from their year, and one clear photograph. Extra details help; they are not all required. You can see a video example first if you wish.
Personalisation
What can be personalised?
Name, age, interests, a proud moment or memory, an optional message from you, and a photograph. You choose how much to share. What makes it personal explains each of these.
Will Santa say my child’s name?
Yes. The name is meant to be used naturally in the story – as if Santa already knows them.
Can Santa mention hobbies, interests or something they achieved this year?
Yes, when you provide it. An interest or a proud moment can appear as a natural line in the story, not as a checklist.
Can I include my own message?
Yes. You may add a short line you would like Father Christmas to pass on – something warm you want recognised, not a lecture.
Do I need to provide every detail?
No. You choose what to share. A name, a memory and a photo already make the film feel theirs. Skip anything you would rather keep private.
Photos
Can my child’s photo appear in the video?
Yes. The photograph you upload — a drawing, object or place, not a face — can appear in a personalised scene in Santa’s world.
What kind of photo should I upload?
A clear photo of a drawing, handmade object or place (for example your house). Do not upload photos of people — especially faces.
Can I upload more than one photo?
You provide one clear photograph of a drawing, object or place. That is the picture that can appear in the personalised scene.
Several children
Can I order for more than one child?
Yes. Current packages offer a separate personalised video for one to four children. Package options are on the pricing page.
Can the children have different stories, details and photos?
Yes. Each video can follow different interests, memories, a different photograph and a different message, if you wish.
Pricing & ordering
How much does MagiClaus cost?
Prices depend on your selected market and how many children you order for. Current amounts are on the pricing page – they are not listed here, so they stay accurate.
Is the price per child? Is it kinder for several children?
The amount shown is the total for that number of children. The per-child price is taken from it, and is usually kinder when you order for more than one child. See the pricing page.
Is this a subscription?
No. MagiClaus is a one-time purchase.
Can I order another video later?
Yes. A later order is a separate purchase, independent of the first video.
Which currency will I pay in?
Prices are shown in the currency available for your selected market.
Watching your video
Can I watch the video more than once?
Yes. It is meant as a private video you can watch again. How long access lasts will be confirmed later.
Can I watch it on a phone, tablet or television?
You can watch it in a browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Specific television or casting options are not confirmed yet.
Can I download the video?
A download option is not confirmed yet. We will explain how you can keep and rewatch the film before you order.
Privacy & data
What information do I need to provide?
At least your child’s name, a few personal notes from their year, and a clear photograph. A sibling’s name or a message from you is optional.
Do I choose what information I share?
Yes. Parents choose which details they provide. Share only what you are comfortable putting in the story. Final privacy rules will be published before launch.
Why is my child’s photo needed?
The photograph is used for the personalised visual moment in the film – so they can see something they made or shared appear in Santa’s world. It is not used as a public gallery image.
Who can view the video?
It is meant as a private film for your family, not a public gallery. Exact access rules will be published with the privacy policy before launch.
Technical questions
Which devices can I use?
MagiClaus is a website that works in a modern browser on a phone, tablet or computer. You do not need a special device.
Do I need to install an app?
No. You can order and watch in the browser. There is no MagiClaus app to install.
Can I order on mobile?
Yes. The site is built to work on a phone as well as on a larger screen.
What happens if I have trouble playing the video?
Try another browser or device first. How we will help with playback issues after launch is not confirmed yet – we will explain that clearly when ordering is open.
Still unsure?
