Personalized AI Santa videos might be a seasonal side hustle.

The idea: Personalized AI Santa video messages

A Dark Horse Entrepreneur podcast episode describes parents selling personalized AI Santa videos for about $75 each. We couldn't find a specific business with checkable revenue, so this one is unproven.

The receipts

No checkable revenue yet, so treat this as a hypothesis. Know a real example? Send it.

Payment-verified figures come from TrustMRR, which reads revenue from the business's payment provider. Founder and press figures are claims we found on the linked page and haven't audited. How we check.

Who pays

Parents and grandparents.

How it makes money

Per-video pricing.

How to start your own

  1. Script a warm template with the child's name, wins and wishes.
  2. Sell through local parent Facebook groups in November.
  3. Add Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy versions.

The catch

Very seasonal, and big players already sell Santa videos.
