The Birth of HoHoHoCall: How a Family Idea Became Magic for Everyone

Sometimes Christmas magic doesn’t start in a North Pole workshop, but in a real living room on a November evening—when a playful idea suddenly lights up children’s eyes. That’s how HoHoHoCall was born: from a moment of fun that became obvious, then a serious project carried by two engineers determined to make that magic accessible to every family.

Where it all began

It started when Ozan created a fake Santa number to entertain his nephews. A little staging, a few improvised lines… and an unexpected result: wide‑eyed kids, laughter, “he knows my name!”, and emotional parents. That evening we realized how a simple call could turn into a core childhood memory.

From that spark came a simple question: what if any parent could offer this moment—easily, with no premium numbers and no bad surprises? So we decided to build a real experience: reliable, warm, and simple to book.

Two engineers, 26 and 28, on a mission

We are Ozan (26) and Taher (28). As engineers, we turned this family idea into a product. Within a few weekends we built a prototype: a clear form for parents, orchestration of the child’s information, and a first personalization engine to guide the call.

We quickly involved test families: iterating on tone, duration, the balance between humor and warmth, and the right level of detail so the child feels truly recognized (first name and pronunciation, passions, efforts this year, a small pride of the moment…). Then we strengthened reliability (scheduling, reminders, time zones), data security, and a booking flow that takes under 2 minutes.

The innovation: a fully personalized Santa call powered by AI

Unlike generic services, HoHoHoCall offers complete personalization of the call:

• First name and pronunciation, optional nickname
• Gift list and interests
• Special messages to deliver (congratulations, encouragement)
• Behavior this year (kindness, progress, little things to improve)

Our AI orchestrator doesn’t replace the human: it prepares an intelligent, tailor‑made script that helps Santa lead a fluent, warm, coherent conversation with the child. For the voice, we collaborated with a professional actor specialized in Santa’s voice. After testing dozens of voices, we chose one that brings exactly the right warmth, realism, and playfulness. The result: a voice that makes parents smile and makes children believe.

All of this rests on a simple promise for parents: a transparent fixed price (€7.95), no premium numbers, no bad surprises, and an experience designed to create a memory that matters.

Closing note: when magic and technology work together

We created HoHoHoCall for Christmas 2025 with one conviction: technology doesn’t remove magic—it brings it closer. It enables personalization, respects families, and turns a fleeting instant into a lasting memory. If you want to see sparkling eyes and hear “he knows me!”, we’re here to help you live that moment.
