Mr. Christmas, the nearly century-old holiday décor brand, has introduced what it calls the world’s first AI-powered toy telephone: Santa’s Magical Telephone. This vintage-style rotary phone, wrapped in festive red and green, gives families a direct line to the North Pole with real, personalized conversations powered by AI.
A Direct Line to Santa
Instead of waiting in line at the mall, children can now pick up the receiver and chat with Santa from home. The phone allows kids to share their wish lists, ask about life in the workshop, or even check their standing on the nice-or-naughty list. Each call grows more personal, with Santa remembering names, previous conversations, and gift requests. Parents aren’t left out either as they can join in on the fun, making it a holiday keepsake that spans generations.
“Santa has always been the most magical part of the holiday season, and now he’s just a phone call away,” said Leslie Hermanson, President of Mr. Christmas. “Santa’s Magical Telephone brings joy for the season, love of children, and warmth of spirit into everyday life.”
Features That Make It “Magical”

- 60 minutes included: Families get a generous talk time out of the box, with additional minutes available for purchase.

A New Holiday Tradition

With this release, Mr. Christmas is positioning Santa’s Magical Telephone as both a playful gadget and a family heirloom. Or, perhaps, a product designed to be unpacked and enjoyed year after year.
