Absolutely gutted

Absolutely gutted - my daughter was so excited about this and then to open it up and find everything in another child’s name - her face is one I won’t forget - to make it worse - the nice list certificate was also in the other child’s name - so she now thinks she’s on the naughty list! 20th Dec - god knows how she’s going to get a replacement in time - won’t be using this company again!

Truly Magical!

The letter from Father Christmas and magic key we received exceeded all of my expectations. Both items are so carefully created with beautiful detail and quality. We will treasure these special items always and are so grateful we came across this company! Totally recommend!

Most Magical North Pole set!!

We ordered the full North Pole set with the video and all the extras and it is absolutely beautifully put together with precision detail and amazing quality. The video looks fantastic and authentic and the individual features integrate and changes are so simple to make. It is honestly magical. All the little personal touches and gold and velvet and writing on the labels are gorgeous. The communication from the company was also santa speed. Totally recommend them!!

Beautiful Item

I just wanted to pop a review on, I’ve taken receipt of the Father Christmas key and it’s by far exceeded all of my expectations. It made me feel giddy with joy and excitement and I can’t wait for it to grow old with us.

I’m straight back on the website to see what other bits I can get!

Thank you again, it’s truly very beautiful and great quality. Really adds to the Christmas magic!

Very Limited

Very limited, There should be a Demo of what you can do, which is Nothing but You won't know this Until you pay £10+ (£5) (£12) p&p.. Which is clever, because 99% wouldnt pay if they knew what they was getting.... Ripoff.. Go online and you find Free ones Miles better.... Information for response team, I expected to Write my Message out, For santa to then Read out as Him.. Instead i got two options santa Or father christmas, Wow Ground breaking..

Hi Kristian,

We’re sorry to hear the experience wasn’t what you were expecting.

Our North Pole Tour is a highly personalised, magical video experience where Santa or Father Christmas:

- says your child’s name on screen and out loud
- shows their name on the Official Nice List
- shows the town or city you enter on the sleigh’s navigation system
- shows the presents you’ve told us they’ve wished for
- includes the photos you upload

All while taking them on an enchanted tour of the North Pole – the grotto, workshop, mail room, sleigh garage, Mrs Claus, the Elves and more.

There is a trailer for the video and a full breakdown of what’s included on the product page before checkout, so families can see the style and format of the experience in advance.

Your video was successfully personalised with your chosen options (child’s name, Santa/Father Christmas and photos), but it doesn’t appear to have been downloaded yet, and your Magic Golden Ticket had not yet been dispatched, as the order was placed only a few hours before this review.

It seems you were expecting to provide your own full script for Santa to read. That isn’t what we offer here - this experience is a set Santa-led tour around the North Pole grotto that is then personalised with your details.

As this is not what you were looking for and the video has not been downloaded, we’ve refunded you in full.

If you have any questions before ordering in future, our team is always happy to help at hello@festivestudio.co.uk.

Kind regards,
Festive Studio

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Magical Once Again!
I’ve just received our order and had a little sneak peek — and my goodness, you’ve delivered such wonderful goodies yet again! We ordered from you last year for our daughter, who is now 2, and she is going to be absolutely delighted.
Thank you, Team Festive Studios, for creating such magical moments. 🎄✨

Santa's letter, nice list and activity pack

Wow. I received the gifts for 2 of my grandsons, and they are perfect 5* Each letter was individually written to each grandson, they were written in the most perfect way which makes them even more special. The nice list card, wish list, package card, and activity pack, wow. Very good quality I'm absolutely over the moon by the quality of everything. So special. I can't wait to buy my youngest grandson one next year (he's only 3 months) I would certainly recommend this teams and their products. Thank you

Letter to Father Christmas

I purchased an “On the good list letter” for my grandson for Christmas. Although I thought it was a good idea to receive a personalised letter from Father Christmas, I was disappointed in the quality of the paper and print. It was folded in half to fit into the envelope. I’m not sure why, but the fold interrupted the text. I also noted the quality of the print wasn’t the same throughout. I’m not sure whether or not to send it. I was very happy with the envelope…..On hindsight I should have gone for the more expensive option, the illustration online looked really good!

My little boy received a beautiful calendar that I scanned each day for a wonderful message from Santa! He was so excited each morning to see his message. Such a great idea, never seen anything like this and he loved it, will be ordering again next year

Spoiled Christmas Eve.

So, firstly let me say, I have always used Festivestudio for my Christmas letters and they're always beautiful! Never had any complaint...
This year, rather than using PNP, we decided to purchase the video from the North pole to watch with our children on Christmas eve.
It was rather expensive, but we felt it would be worth it to keep the magic alive...
Once the link came, we signed in to personalise our video and watch the preview. It was very good, and lasted about 8 minutes.
Shortly after, the magic ticket arrived. This also was beautiful. We registered the ticket and linked it to the video so all my children had to do was scan the QR code!! All good...
Unfortunately, on Christmas eve, when my child opened his Christmas eve box, the QR code didn't work. Not only did it not work, but it took him directly to the page where you have to activate the ticket and personalise the clip.
We were mortified. We found it very difficult to explain what it was for, and promptly removed the ticket from him.
I then spent nearly 40 minutes emailing Festivestudio to figure out what had gone wrong.
They did respond, and asked me to link the video to the ticket (which I explained I'd previously done.)
However, I did as they requested then tried the QR code again.
Again, it didn't work...
By this point, my kids had opened all Xmas eve gifts and were waiting to go to bed (most of which I'd missed due to trying to sort out a video.)
I then asked for a refund, as the time had passed.
To my utter surprise, I received no response and have had no response since then, even though I've emailed numerous times.
I am writing this review as I would HATE for this to happen to another child, on Christmas eve... Hopefully, it won't, but I felt it important to let ppl know that this service will happily respond to you until things go wrong and you ask for a refund! Then they ignore you.
I wouldn't care, I only asked for the money for the clip back as I was happy with the letters.
Such a shame but I'll never use them again.

Hi Leanne,

Thank you for being with us since 2020 and for the lovely feedback about our letters and your video preview. We’re truly sorry your Christmas Eve didn’t go as planned.

After reviewing your order, emails and system records, here’s what we found:

* Your video was created well in advance and was ready to watch.

* As a UK customer you added the optional Magic Ticket. It needs to be linked to the video once it arrives by post (log in and enter the red ticket number). At the time the QR code was scanned, this linking step hadn’t been completed - instructions are included in the ticket pouch.

* On Christmas Eve there were multiple unsuccessful sign-in attempts to the Parent Portal - suggesting an incorrect password was used instead of the instant access link we email upon purchase.

* When a ticket isn’t linked, scanning the QR shows a child-friendly activation prompt only - Parent Portal screens are only available by logging in at festivestudio.com.

On communication, we replied several times in the run-up to Christmas - resending your confirmation in November and advising in December how to log in and link your ticket. We responded to your 9:00 pm Christmas Eve email within four minutes.

Because the video had been produced and the platform was operating as expected, a refund wasn’t due. If the ticket had been linked, it would have played your video - and you could also have downloaded the file or used the family share link at any time after creating it.

We take enormous care to preserve the Christmas magic, and our portal has run reliably for five seasons across thousands of videos.

We’d love the chance to make this right - should you wish, we’ll provide a complimentary video and Magic Ticket for Christmas 2025 and can personally assist with linking to ensure everything works exactly as intended.

We’re back open for 2025 - if there’s anything we can help with, please let us know by emailing hello@festivestudio.co.uk.

Warm wishes,
Festive Studio
