Free personalised video
There's a website that'll send your friends and family free personalised online video messages from Santa - incredibly cute for kids and hilarious for adult recipients!
It only takes couple of minutes. Here's a screengrab from one we made for Martin:
To make your video, go to the Portable North Pole website and follow its simple step-by-step guide. To make it more fun, upload a photo of the person you're sending it to.
There's also an option to include a picture of yourself, and/or a photo of the gift they want for Christmas, plus you'll answer a few basic questions about the person (eg, age, interests).
You then just need to choose how you're going to send it (either by email or share via Facebook), and you're done. Enjoy!
Track Santa as he delivers presents
Free site Norad Santa lets you watch Santa's progress as he visits the homes of good boys and girls delivering presents on Christmas Eve.
It's great fun for kids and adults too, and there's a new Santa's Village with games to keep the little ones entertained as St Nicholas and his reindeers fly closer to the UK.
