Santa Studio is a new product from Rastock AI that makes a personalized video from Santa for your child. You type in their name, a proud moment from this year, their pet and the gift they are hoping for, read and approve every line Santa will say, and a vertical HD video is ready a few minutes after you pay.
Why a stock metadata company built a Santa video
Most people who read this blog know Rastock AI for metadata and delivery tools for stock contributors. Santa Studio comes out of the same everyday work with AI image and video models, pointed at a very different audience: families in the weeks before Christmas. It runs as its own product with its own account space, so nothing about it touches a contributor's galleries or agency connections.
The idea is simple. A short video where Santa says a child's name is nice. A video where he mentions the football goal they scored, the dog curled up beside him and the exact bike they asked for is the one that gets watched twenty times on Christmas morning. Everything in the product is built around getting those details right, and around keeping the parent in charge of every word.
How it works, from blank form to finished video
- Pick a scene and a Santa. There are ten North Pole scenes, including Santa's Workshop, Aurora Cabin, By the Fireplace, The Sleigh and the Letters Room, and two Santas to choose from.
- Tell Santa about your child: name and age, a sport or hobby, a proud moment from this year and a kind thing they did.
- Add the pet and the gift if you like, with an optional photo of each, and write a message of your own for Santa to pass on.
- Read the script. It is written in seconds and it is free; change any line until it sounds right.
- Pay once and Santa records. A few minutes later the video is waiting in My videos, ready to download as an MP4.
What makes it personal
The form asks for the things a child would recognise as theirs: their name and age, the sport they play or the hobby they love, a proud moment from this year, and a kind thing they did. Then come the pet, with its name, type and what it looks like, and the gift, with whether it was wished for or is already bought and its colour or wrapping. Last is a free-text message, which is where a parent can add the one detail no form would think to ask about. Santa's script uses every detail you give him, so the more specific you are, the more the video sounds like it could only be for one child.
What to have ready before you start
The details Santa Studio asks a parent for: child's name with a pronunciation hint, age, a sport or hobby, a proud moment and a kind thing they did this year; optionally a pet's name, type and look and the gift with its colour and where it appears; and a personal message. No photo of the child is ever needed; pet and gift photos are optional and deleted after seven days.
The pet and the gift, in the scene with Santa
The details that make children gasp are the ones they can see. The family pet can appear in the scene alongside Santa, and the gift shows up in the colour or wrapping you describe, placed under the tree, in Santa's sack or on the table. A photo of the pet or the gift helps Santa get it right, but it is optional; a good description works too. Any photo you do add is used only for that video and deleted seven days after the video is made.
Why we never ask for photos of children
Some personalized Santa products ask for a child's photo. Santa Studio deliberately does not, and there is no upload slot for one. A child's name, spoken by Santa alongside real details from their year, carries the personal moment on its own, and keeping children's faces out of the pipeline entirely is the simplest way to keep their images safe. It is a product decision we made early and do not intend to reverse.
40 seconds or 60 seconds?
There are two lengths, both one-time purchases with no subscription. The 40-second video covers the child's name, a proud moment, and either the pet or the gift with Santa. The 60-second video includes everything in the shorter one, plus both the pet and the gift, a personal message in Santa's own words, and a goodbye by name. During the launch offer they are $39.99 and $59.99, and launch prices run for a limited time. Writing and editing the script costs nothing either way, so it is easy to draft both and see which one feels right.
Which Santa Studio length fits your family?
A short decision guide between the two Santa Studio lengths: the 40-second video covers the child's name, a proud moment and either the pet or the gift, while the 60-second video adds both pet and gift, a personal message in Santa's words and a goodbye by name.
Is the Santa real? We say so plainly
The Santa in Santa Studio is created with AI video technology, and we say that openly rather than presenting him as a live actor. What keeps the result trustworthy is that the parent is in control the whole way through: you write the details, you read the full script, and you approve every line before anything is recorded. Nothing ends up in the video that you have not seen first.
What you get, and what happens if something goes wrong
The finished video is vertical HD, made for phones, and downloads as an MP4 you can send in a messaging app, share with grandparents or keep. You can leave the page while it records; it waits in My videos, and the receipt appears under Payments and arrives by email. If a recording ever fails, Santa records it again at no extra cost. Each new video is a separate purchase, which suits families with more than one child or anyone who wants a second scene.
Start your video
Christmas mornings come round fast, and the best time to make a video is while the year's proud moments are still fresh. Open Santa Studio, pick a scene, and write the script for free; you only pay when you are ready for Santa to record.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a personalized video from Santa cost?
Santa Studio sells two lengths as one-time purchases with no subscription. During the launch offer, a 40-second video is $39.99 and a 60-second video is $59.99, and launch prices are available for a limited time. Writing and editing the script is free, so you only pay when you are happy with what Santa is going to say and ask him to record.
Do I need to upload a photo of my child?
No. Santa Studio never asks for photos of children, and the product was built that way on purpose. Santa speaks your child's name and the details you type in, which is what makes the video feel personal. The only photos you can add are optional ones of a pet or the gift, and those are deleted seven days after the video is made.
Will Santa say my child's name correctly?
Santa says your child's name in the video, and the form includes a pronunciation hint for names that are often misread. Because the script is written before anything is recorded, you can read every line, adjust the wording, and make sure the name and details are exactly right before you pay and Santa records the video.
How long does it take to get the video?
The script is ready in seconds, and recording takes a few minutes after payment. You do not need to keep the page open while it renders: the finished video waits in My videos, and the receipt arrives by email and appears under Payments. If a recording ever fails, Santa records it again at no extra cost.
Is the Santa in the video real?
The Santa in Santa Studio is created with AI video technology, and the product says so openly rather than presenting him as a live actor. What keeps it personal is control: a parent writes the details, reads the full script, and approves every line Santa will say before anything is recorded, so nothing in the video is a surprise.
Can I make more than one video?
Yes. Each video is its own purchase, which suits families with more than one child or anyone who wants a different scene or a different message. Every finished video stays in My videos, and each one can be downloaded as an MP4 to send in a messaging app, share with grandparents, or keep as a holiday keepsake.
