On top of Amazon‘s introduction of Shaquille O’Neal and Melissa McCarthy to its catalog of Alexa celebrity voices, Santa Claus now joins the list as the newest virtual assistant exclusively this holiday.
A fitting Secret Santa gift for friends and family, the latest voice option features seasonal greetings to classic Christmas carols such as Jingle Bells and the 12 Days of Christmas. Other jolly commands include asking Santa about his reindeers, his favorite food, news in the North Pole, and more festive questions alike. Alexa users can also find out what presents they’re getting by asking, “Hey Santa, am I naughty or nice?” While Santa can’t help with shopping, lists, reminders, or skills, he can set timers or even give advice and crack jokes.
With a simple request, “Alexa, enable ‘Hey Santa’”, Santa will be at your service free of charge, and rest assured he will fill any room with the holiday spirit. Head over to Amazon’s website for more instructions on enabling the Christmas personality.
