*Disclosure – We received a magic pass as part of this review. However, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
I’ve always loved Christmas but even more so since having my boys. It’s just magical seeing them tucking into their Christmas Eve boxes and putting out their plate for Santa and the reindeers. Another tradition of ours is receiving a video call from the man himself! And that’s thanks to Portable North Pole / PNP.
If you are not aware of PNP then firstly, where the hell have you been? Hehe! Portable North Pole is accessible by app or website and is a wonderful portal where you can make personalised videos for friends and family.
We have been using Portable North Pole for years now, ever since my eldest was a tot. I don’t think it will be much longer before he cottons on but for now, he believes and I intend to keep the magic alive for as long as possible.
It really is awesome when the recipient hears Santa say their name and shows pictures with them in. It doesn’t stop there though, as you can also set up calls so Santa can speak to your child to see if they’ve been behaving!
PNP is not just for little ones either. Being the big kid that I am, I have sent videos to my friends and Craig for a laugh and I’ve received many back!
There are 3 three passes you can choose from –
- Video Pass £9.99

The Magic Pass has the same features as the video pass only with a few more extras such as multi-device scenarios, unlimited calls and video calls, downloads in 1080 HD and extras in the kids corner.

It’s no wonder there have been over 220 million messages since its creation in 2008. It’s absolutely magical and we love it!

Oh this sounds really good. Although my son will be too young for it this year maybe by next Christmas he will have a better understanding of it and would love this (I know I would!) 😃. #MMBC
The Portable North Pole is fantastic. We have used it plenty of times in the past and my girls always loved it!
We love PNP too. One year we put my brother on the naughty list. My son was distraught and wanted to know what we could do to get him on the nice list so we had to make a nice list video to placate him! #MMBC
I’d never heard of this (oops!), but it sounds like a lovely way to get little ones excited for Christmas! #MMBC
I absoloutley love this, i did it last year for my son, it’s super cute xx
Aww this is great for little ones. What a fab idea for keeping the magic of Christmas alive x
My son and I used the website last year when he was two and he really enjoyed it. He’s understanding much more now about Christmas and chats away to the personalised Santa video he had on his birthday!
i did this last year i think its really lovely to watch even at my age
This sounds like something my grandson would absolutely love! May have to give this one a go! x
This looks great, I think my son would love this. It may improve his behaviour too if he thinks Santa is watching x
I love this it’s such a great idea
Something to consider for Christmas 2026 – what fun
