How Parents Can Create a Custom Santa Video With AI: A Step-By-Step Guide for Colorado Families

If you’re looking for a fun and easy way to create a little holiday magic for your kids, you’re going to love this guide. I’ve been playing around with AI tools for a while now, and this year I decided to try something new for my family: a custom Santa video made with Sora inside ChatGPT.

I’ve probably watched this thing 30 times already with my kids because they think it’s the real Santa. And after seeing their reactions, I knew other parents here in Denver and across Colorado might want to try it too. So today I’m breaking down exactly how I made it, how you can make your own, and why tools like this are a great example of what’s possible with modern AI.

Along the way I’ll also tie in how AI tools like these can support real estate professionals, clients, and families. If you’ve followed my content at MileHighTitleGuy.com or attended any of my AI workshops across Denver and Colorado Springs, you know I’m always looking for easy wins that make life simpler. This one definitely fits the bill.

Let’s jump in.

What Is the Best Way to Create a Personalized Santa Video for Kids in Colorado?

The easiest and most accessible way to create a custom Santa video today is through Sora, OpenAI’s video generator built inside ChatGPT. It lets you take a simple written prompt and turn it into a short, realistic, first-person video with synced audio, natural movement, and a full environment behind Santa.

The result is shockingly realistic. My kids absolutely lit up when they heard Santa say their names.

And the best part is that you don’t need any editing skills or special software. You just paste in the prompt, personalize it with your kids’ names, and you’re ready to go.

Why This Works So Well for Families

As a parent myself, I’m always trying to create little moments that feel magical without turning it into a huge production. With three little ones, life is already full.

This AI Santa video checks all the boxes:

• It feels personal

• It feels real to kids

• It only takes about one minute to make

• It’s a fun holiday tradition you can repeat every year

• It creates an easy memory that your family can look back on

And for my audience of real estate agents, lenders, and industry pros here in Denver and Colorado Springs, it’s also a great example of how creative tools like this can help you build deeper relationships with clients. Keep reading and I’ll show you how to use this idea in your real estate business, too.

How to Create Your Own Custom Santa Video With Sora

Creating your Santa video is incredibly simple. Here’s the exact workflow I use and recommend.

Step 1: Go to Sora.ChatGPT.com Open the site and start a new video project.

Step 2: Paste in the Full Prompt Here is the exact prompt I use. You can copy and paste it directly into Sora, then customize the names:

Create a 15 second first person POV video recorded on an iPhone, as if the viewer is seeing Santa Claus through his front facing camera while he films a message. Do not show Santa holding the phone. Use natural handheld camera motion with small shifts and gentle movement.

Santa is cheerful, warm, and classic, with a red suit, white beard, rosy cheeks, and friendly eyes. He is standing in the North Pole workshop. Behind him, elves are building toys, wrapping presents, and moving around in a cozy holiday environment with warm lights and light snow visible through frosted windows.

Santa looks at the camera and speaks with a deep, warm, joyful Santa voice. Use synced audio. He says:

"Ho ho ho! Hi Jack, Mia, and Ava. It’s Santa here at the North Pole. The elves and I are working hard on toys for Christmas Eve. Keep being good for mommy and daddy. Hope to see you soon."

Include gentle holiday ambience in the background.

Step 3: Export the Video Sora will generate the clip in a few seconds. Save it as a 15 second video and enjoy.

Here are a few fun ways to bring this Santa clip into your holiday traditions:

How Real Estate Agents Can Use This Idea for Client Relationships

A few simple ideas:

Little touches like this help you stand out in a crowded market.

Why I Share AI Tools as a Local Denver Title Rep

As a Title Insurance Sales Rep with Chicago Title Colorado, my job is to help real estate agents grow. AI is one of the biggest opportunities agents have right now to save time, boost creativity, and improve consistency in their business.

Fun projects like this Santa video prove how approachable and useful AI can be. If this helps you get more comfortable with these tools, that’s a win in my book.

How AI Is Transforming Real Estate Across Colorado

This Santa project highlights how agents can use AI to:

• Personalize client communication

• Create branded content quickly

• Automate repetitive tasks

• Analyze MLS data intelligently

• Save time every week

  
  

Modern real estate businesses in Denver, Colorado Springs, and the Front Range are rapidly adopting these tools, and I love helping agents stay ahead of the curve.

Why Title Insurance Still Matters in an AI World

Even with AI evolving fast, one thing hasn’t changed. Homebuyers and sellers still rely on trusted title companies for protection and clarity throughout the real estate transaction.

Colorado closings involve unique deadlines, title commitments, HOA documents, and processes that require a solid team behind you. AI is a great tool, but it doesn’t replace the expertise of a title company.

That’s where Chicago Title Colorado and my team come in.

Final Thoughts

If you decide to make one of these Santa videos, I’d love to hear how your kids respond. This small moment brought a lot of joy into my house, and I hope it does the same for yours.
