GET STARTED WITH SANTA: Santa Claus is here to add extra holiday cheer to your Alexa experience. Just ask and Santa can tell you a story, sing a song, crack a joke, set a timer, and so much more. For hours of cheer for the whole family, just say “Alexa, enable ‘Hey Santa’” to get started. If you have more than one Echo device, go to each device and say “Alexa, enable ‘Hey Santa’”. For US and UK customers, if you have an Echo device in Kids mode, go to the settings section of that device in the Alexa app, scroll down to “Wake Word”, and toggle on “Hey Santa”. You will still be able to use Alexa’s voice as you do now.
HOLIDAY CHEER WITH SANTA: “Hey Santa, sing a song.” “Hey Santa, sing Jingle Bells.” “Hey Santa, sing Up on the Rooftop.” “Hey Santa, sing We Wish You a Merry Christmas.” “Hey Santa, sing the 12 Days of Christmas.” “Hey Santa, sing Deck the Halls.” “Hey Santa, tell me a story.” “Hey Santa, tell me the North Pole news.”
DISCOVER MORE FROM SANTA: "Hey Santa, what can you do?" “Hey Santa, tell me about your reindeer.” “Hey Santa, can you laugh?” “Hey Santa, what is your favorite food?” “Hey Santa, happy holidays.” “Hey Santa, Merry Christmas” “Hey Santa, let’s dance.” “Hey Santa, tell me a joke.” “Hey Santa, let’s play a game.” “Hey Santa, give me advice.”
WILL SANTA WORK WITH MY DEVICE: Santa works with most Echo devices in your home, except first-generation Echo and Echo Dot and wearables. Fire TV and Fire Tablets are not supported at this time.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW: If you have more than one Echo device, go to each device and say “Alexa, enable ‘Hey Santa’”. For US and UK customers, if you have an Echo device in Kids mode or a Kids Edition Echo device, open the Alexa app, go to Devices > All Devices > Select the device > Settings (Top Right corner) > Scroll down to Wake Word > Toggle on “Hey Santa”. Also, Santa won’t be able to help with shopping, lists, reminders, or skills.
