Coming for the 2026 holidays · iPhone · United States
Santa is on
the line.
Video call Santa, live from his house at the North Pole.
Your child has a real conversation with Santa. You get their wish list afterwards. No ads, no tracking, nothing sold to anyone.
What it is
A phone call to the North Pole that actually answers.
Live, not recorded
Your child talks to Santa
Not a recording dressed up as a call. Santa sees the moment they go shy, waits, and answers what they actually said.
He remembers
Santa knows who they are
He knows their name and the few details you entered. He asks about them, and he keeps the conversation where a five-year-old wants it.
For the grown-up
The wish list arrives after
Everything they asked for, what they were excited about, and anything Santa thinks a grown-up should know — in your inbox, minutes later.
How it works
Two minutes to set up. Five minutes of Christmas.
- 1
Set it up
About two minutes. Your child’s first name, and the grown-up consent step.
- 2
Hand over the phone
They ring Santa’s bell themselves. The phone rings at the North Pole.
- 3
The call
Up to five minutes, face to face. Santa wraps up warmly and on time — never mid-sentence.
- 4
The report
The wish list and the highlights land in your inbox.
Every December a child asks whether Santa is real.This is the year he picks up the phone.
For grown-ups
You are handing your child a phone and a stranger’s face.
So here is exactly what that does, and does not, involve.
Jinglewire is not released yet. These are the commitments it is being built to. If one of them turns out not to be true of the app we ship, it comes off this page rather than quietly staying up.
No ads. No tracking. No analytics SDKs.
There is no advertising code in the app, no attribution SDK and no third-party analytics. Nothing about your child is used to target anything — that is a build decision, not a setting we could quietly change.
A grown-up consents before any child can call.
Verifiable parental consent is a launch requirement, not a nice-to-have. The call button stays closed until a parent has read what happens and given it.
Transcripts only. Never audio of your child.
The call audio is not recorded or stored. A text transcript is kept briefly so the wish-list report can be written, then it goes.
A grown-up gate guards everything parental.
Settings, purchases and anything that leaves the app sit behind a check a young child cannot pass. This part is already built.
Santa never promises a specific gift.
He says the elves will check the workshop. He is built not to use “come back tomorrow” or any other attachment tactic, and to end the call kindly and on time.
Santa is AI, and we say so.
The Santa your child talks to is an AI character. We tell you that plainly at setup, because you are the one deciding whether that is right for your family.
After every call
The wish list, in your inbox
This is the part parents actually buy. What your child asked for, in their own words, plus the small things they mentioned in passing that you would never have thought to ask about.
- What they asked Santa for
- What they were excited about
- Anything a grown-up should follow up on
Pricing
You buy calls. That is the whole model.
A set number of calls, each up to five minutes, with the allowance printed plainly on the App Store listing before you pay. No subscription that quietly renews, no countdown timers, and no upsell in the middle of a call while your child is watching.
The exact price is set before launch and will appear here and on the listing.
Questions
The awkward ones first
Is it really live, or a recording?
Live. Santa responds to what your child actually says, in real time, on video. That is the whole point of the app.
Is Santa a real person?
No. Santa is an AI character with a locked script of guardrails. We tell you this at setup rather than burying it. Your child experiences Santa; you know exactly what it is.
What happens to my child’s voice?
It is not recorded and not stored. The conversation is turned into text so the wish-list report can be written, and that transcript is kept only briefly.
Can my child call whenever they want?
No. Calls come out of an allowance you buy, and the purchase and the settings sit behind the grown-up gate.
What if Santa hears something worrying?
He steers gently back, suggests telling a grown-up they trust, and it is flagged in your report. We would rather tell you than tidy it away.
Is there an Android version?
Not for this holiday. Jinglewire is iPhone only, in the United States.
