The Hey Santa feature from Amazon and Alexa launched this week ahead of the holidays. Alexa is now offering users the Hey Santa holiday experience to bring joy and cheer to the family as the festivities approach.
Amazon introduced the holiday personality for Alexa that includes storytelling, song-singing, jokes, and more. In addition to the holiday-themed experience, Hey Santa also has a special duet with the award-winning singer-songwriter. To activate the exciting feature, users can recite "hey Santa, sing your duet with Meghan Trainer." Alexa users can also set timers for holiday baking to ensure that the cookies come out perfectly. Other Hey Santa utterances include "Hey Santa, sing Jingle Bells," and "Hey Santa, am I on the naughty or nice list?"
