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.
