Each story lasts about ten minutes and is a great way to get children excited for the arrival of the big man. There are already 18 entertaining tales for families to choose from, including ones about elf and reindeer escpades. SANTA SAYS HI: You can create a personalised video for free for your child at portablenorthpole.com/en/santa-video.

Select the free trial and Saint Nick will say your child’s name and age and feature a photo of them in the short video. Just be aware he also drops a mention for the paid-for phone service, though you can probably brush it off. PICTURE PERFECT: Download the app Catch Santa Claus In My House for free and you can create images of him in your home, which will surely leave your kids gobsmacked.

Again, there are in-app purchases to scale up photos if you want to make them a bit fancier but it’s not necessary. TRACK THE JOURNEY: As Santa sets off to start his deliveries on Christmas Eve, you can track his journey on the website Noradsanta.org.
