SMS Messaging Program & Opt-In
Effective June 25, 2026
How families opt in to text messages from their holiday character, and the full program terms. This is the opt-in call-to-action for our SMS/MMS program.
1. What the program is
HolidayTexts.com lets a parent or guardian receive personalized, two-way text (SMS/MMS) messages from a chosen holiday character (e.g., Santa, Frosty, Rudolph, the Easter Bunny) on their own mobile phone, to share with their child. Text delivery is optional — email delivery is available instead — so agreeing to texts is never a condition of purchase.
2. How you opt in (the call to action)
The account-holding parent or guardian (18+) opts in on our website during signup. When you add a child and choose Text delivery, you enter the mobile number that should receive messages and check the consent box shown below. Consent is captured per mobile number, at the point you enter it. This is the exact call-to-action a user sees:
The box is unchecked by default and is required before that child can be saved for text delivery. You can see it live in the signup flow:
3. Program terms & disclosures
- Program description. HolidayTexts.com is a parent-authorized, two-way messaging program that delivers personalized SMS (text) and MMS (picture/multimedia) messages from holiday characters (e.g., Santa, Rudolph, the Easter Bunny) to a child under the supervision of the enrolling parent or guardian.
- How to opt in. The account-holding parent or guardian opts in during signup by providing the mobile number and agreeing to these terms. By opting in you confirm you are the account holder or authorized user of that number and are 18 or older.
- Message frequency. Message frequency varies based on the characters, channels, and settings you choose (for example, seasonal check-ins and replies you request). Recurring messages may be sent.
- Cost. Message and data rates may apply. HolidayTexts does not charge for the messages themselves, but your mobile carrier's standard message and data rates apply per your plan.
