PARENTS have found a free service that allows them to create a personalised video from Santa.
Unfortunately, Father Christmas is far too busy to send everyone a real video of his own.

So instead, experts have created a special AI site to help Santa out with some magical messages – whether you’re on the nice list or the naughty list.
Users can write out exactly what they want the AI Santa to say and the tech will read it out fluidly.
There’s also a button to help you out with inspiration if you’re all out of ideas for your script.
However, you can’t write any rude messages.
All are checked for anything political, sexual, offensive or criminal before they’re sent.
Once your message is ready, just add your email so you can then show it to the kids.
It may take a few minutes to arrive while it’s checked over.
There are a number of backgrounds and you can even choose to have a video from Mrs Claus instead if you prefer.
It’s the third year Synthesia – the company that made it – has allowed people to make AI-generated Christmas videos.
The service even supports other languages, with more than 80 available.
“The real Santa is quite busy these days, but fortunately, his AI avatar is here to help spread the Christmas joy,” Synthesia said.
“Pretty amazing tech,” one user reacted.
You can access it for free by going to www.synthesia.io/santa.
