Really poor product and support

I used this service to create a special video for the holiday season, but the AI-generated result was extremely poor quality. When I reached out to customer support to resolve the issue, I was dismissed and told that since I had already paid, nothing could be done. After I requested a refund, the company went completely silent. Their refusal to communicate forced me to file a chargeback through my bank. If you are looking for a magical Christmas video for your little one, avoid Portable North Pole / UGroupMedia. Save your money and take your business elsewhere.

We’re very sorry to hear that your experience with PNP, left you feeling this way. Regardless of the outcome of a refund request, you should never feel that your concerns were dismissed.

We’d also like to clarify one detail: our personalized Santa Videos are created using footage produced with our creative team and cast, rather than being AI generated. That said, we completely understand that the final experience did not meet your expectations, and we’d like the opportunity to take another look at what happened.

If you’re willing, please contact our Support team again and mention this review so we can locate your previous request and personally review the situation, including what happened with your refund request. We’d genuinely appreciate the opportunity to restore some of the Christmas magic that was lost along the way. 🎅❤️

We've been using this service for…

We've been using this service for almost a decade for our three kids (in French), and also gifting it to my nieces (in English). It always went very well and the kids were always excited to see the videos.

An absolute holiday essential

An absolute holiday essential – incredible value and magic!

I’ve been using the Portable North Pole (PNP) app for several years now, and it never fails to bring pure magic into our home. The amount and quality of content available is simply amazing!

The app is super well-designed, smooth, and easy to use. You can create highly personalized videos, phone calls from Santa that look and feel completely authentic. The level of detail you can customize makes every message feel so special and real for the kids (and adults!).

Considering the vast library of content and all the options you get, it is extremely affordable for the quality it delivers. PNP has become a cherished holiday tradition for our family, and I can't recommend it enough to anyone looking to add some extra magic to their celebrations!

And it goes from bad to worse…

If you’re thinking of signing up to PNP Santa be aware - in fact be double aware. Read the negative reviews first - and if you think you will be able to rely on customer support to resolve your problems then think again.

I signed up to the site in December 2025 to send videos to my lovely grandchildren and it was an unmitigated disaster - read my review for more details.

Now moving on to ‘customer support’ - which actually offers zero support.
I posted my negative reviews in January 2026 and you would think that any customer services team worth their salt would be on the ball and respond within hours to counteract any negative points. But oh no…this team took a whole FOUR MONTHS to reply. And if you read all the other negative reviews they’ve nearly all received a response today - irrespective of when the review was posted.

This is not customer support - it’s someone trawling through the reviews offering nothing but worthless platitudes.

So the advice is clear - if you want to waste your money then go ahead and subscribe to this PNP - but if you value your bank balance and don’t want to upset your children or grandchildren use the cash and buy them another gift instead.

No one to get in touch with

Absolutely shameful way of operating a business. I first used this years ago, you just paid for whatever type of video you want to send. Last year, I did a video for my step-son and paid £15.99 for a "Magic Pass" which allowed me to make as many videos as I wanted. Without any prior notification, another £15.99 was debited from my account. All links that they give you to follow take you on a merry-go-round without getting any answers or options. The page for subscription options is blank, the link takes you to Google Subscriptions but surprise, surprise, there's no subscription there... I couldn't work out how to cancel, couldn't get in touch with anyone (no phone or email provided anywhere). I spoke to my bank who told me they haven't set up a subscription but actually just use my virtual card to go in and take money!!! My bank said it was a very bad way of doing business! Only option was to cancel my card and get a new one. Total inconvenience but it's either that or allow them to continue stealing money. Can only imagine how much they've stolen!! I notice they don't respond to reviews here either. AVOID!!!
UPDATE: their response says everything you need to know. The original purchase platform or method??? I paid whilst on your official site & used my debit card - what other option is there? There was none so that's just an excuse about the subscriptions. I couldn't find the subscription on your platform (under Subscriptions I might add) or through Google Play Store, so this is just word salad from you. My bank CONFIRMED you had not set up a subscription but were using a virtual card to take payments - without setting up a subscription, there was no way to cancel other than cancelling my card, which I did. So this is absolute lies you are printing here (which I've screenshot). Why don't you tell me, right now, where are the places we can find the subscription to cancel it , if it wasn't in the place I'd expect to find it (i.e. YOUR SUNSCRIPTION PAGE on the website) You DID take an unauthorised payment because you did NOT set up a subscription that I could easily cancel. This response hasn't helped and has actually just confirmed my initial complaint. Go back to just paying for services you want and I'd consider paying again because the videos and phone calls are great - it's a brilliant idea and product, just a shame the business model isn't very transparent...why is there no one you can contact with issues?

Hi there,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused regarding your renewal, cancellation attempts, and difficulty reaching support. We understand how upsetting this situation must have felt, especially after having used PNP positively in previous years.

We’d like to gently clarify that Magic Pass memberships are recurring subscriptions, and renewal terms, pricing, and cancellation information are displayed during purchase and in post-purchase communications. In some cases, subscription visibility and management can also vary depending on the original purchase platform or payment method used, which may explain why the subscription was not visible where you expected to find it.

We also want to reassure you that PNP does not “take” payments without authorization or store payment methods outside the secure systems used to process purchases. Feedback like yours is important to us as we continue improving both our subscription management experience and customer support accessibility.

Although we understand your frustration, we genuinely regret that this experience changed your perception of PNP after many years of use. If you would still be open to discussing this further, please contact our support team through our Help Center and reference your Trustpilot review so we can investigate your case directly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

AWFUL

AWFUL! Been using for years but whatever changes they made this year, I’ll never use again or recommend. You used to get one free video. And you could watch it as many times as you wanted. I had my son ready to watch what was I thought the free short personalized video of Santa. He’s all excited and 30 seconds in, it stops and tells me I need to pay for premium! What a crappy way to get me to pay and ruin a kids experience. There’ll be seeing none of my money. Awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Jillena,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience, especially knowing your son was excited watch his Santa video when it was interrupted. We completely understand how disappointing and frustrating that must have felt for both of you, particularly after having used PNP for many years.

Portable North Pole now offers a mix of free and Premium experiences, and while some free content remains available, certain personalized videos and extended experiences are part of our premium offerings.

Your feedback is genuinely important to us, especially regarding how free and Premium experiences are presented to families with children. We never want a magical moment to feel interrupted or transactional, and comments like yours help us continue improving the experience moving forward.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Beware - they'll take your money but provide no customer support

Beware! They'll take your money but if you have any issues it's impossible to get any help from them.

The Magic Pass I ordered is valid until Oct 2029 (it even says it when I own the app) but there is supposedly no valid subscription when I try to create a video so the app is asking me to purchase another subscription.

It's impossible to contact their customer services - there is no email, phone number and the contact form on their help page is non-existent.

Hi Robin,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration caused while trying to access the Magic Pass features you had already purchased. We completely understand how confusing and upsetting it must have felt to see an active pass displayed in the app while simultaneously being prompted to subscribe again.

In situations like this, it’s often related to an account mismatch — for example, the Magic Pass being tied to a different email address, Apple ID, Google account, or private relay email than the one currently logged into the app. This can make the subscription appear active in one area while Premium access is not correctly restored within the account being used to create videos.

We’re also very sorry to hear you felt unable to reach support. Feedback like yours is important to us as we continue improving both the customer support experience and the visibility of our contact options.

Although some time has passed, we remain open to discussing this further if you would still like assistance, specially since your Magic Pass is still active. Please contact our support team through our Help Center, and click on 'Submit Request'. Please reference your Trustpilot review so we can investigate your case directly.

Thank you again for sharing your feedback with us.

Buyer beware!

I am furious. I chose the ‘Free Trial’ option but have been charged £15.99!! I have used this service before and as such the company has details of my bank account. How can this be charged when it is supposed to be ‘Free!’ Never again.

Hi Sally,

We’re sorry to hear about your frustration and understand how concerning unexpected charges can feel.

We would, however, like to gently clarify that a charge would not occur simply from viewing or selecting a free experience alone. Any paid subscription or purchase requires an active confirmation step through the selected payment platform before billing can take place. Since you mentioned having used PNP previously, it’s possible the renewal may have been connected to an existing subscription or account from an earlier purchase.

Our memberships are recurring subscriptions, and renewal terms, pricing, and cancellation information are displayed during purchase and in post-purchase communications.

We also apologize if you felt unsupported while trying to understand the situation. Although some time has passed, we remain open to discussing this further if you would still like assistance. Please contact our support team through our Help Center and reference your Trustpilot review so we can investigate your account and payment history directly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Hi Brenda,

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience during the 2025 season and the frustration caused. We understand how disappointing that must have been, especially during such an important time of year for families.

In some cases, issues related to downloads, video rendering, or app performance can be improved through basic troubleshooting steps such as updating the app, checking device storage, switching networks, or logging out and back into the account. That said, we completely understand how frustrating it can feel when things don’t work as expected in the moment.

We also recognize that not receiving timely support only adds to that frustration, and feedback like yours is valuable as we continue improving.

While we understand your hesitation about renewing, we genuinely hope you may consider giving PNP another chance in the future as we continue working to improve the experience for families each season. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback with us.

Fidélité récompensée par une escroquerie

Plusieurs années de fidélité pour me faire voler cette année. Chaque année je prenais l'abonnement de 1 an sans reconduction. Cette année je ne me réabonne pas car mes enfants ont grandi et ne croient plus au père noel. Jai eu ma mauvaise surprise d'être débitée malgré moi de 19€ pour un abonnement que je ne souhaite pas ( et dont le tari a pratiquement doublé au passage). J'ai contacté 2 fois le service client, le jour du prélèvement abusif puis 1 mois après, jamais de réponse. On est bien loin de la magie de Noël, le Père Noël a enfilé un costume de voleur 😢😢😠😠.

Bonjour Lili,

Nous sommes sincèrement désolés d'apprendre que ce renouvellement vous a déçue et frustrée, surtout après plusieurs années de fidélité à PNP.

Nous tenons à vous rappeler que les abonnements Magic Pass sont des abonnements à renouvellement automatique, et que les informations concernant le renouvellement, les tarifs et la résiliation sont fournies au moment de l'achat ainsi que dans les communications post-achat.

Nous sommes également désolés d'apprendre que vous n'avez pas reçu de réponse après avoir contacté notre service client. Ce n'est pas l'expérience que nous souhaitons offrir aux familles qui utilisent PNP depuis tant d'années.

Même si un certain temps s'est écoulé, nous restons ouverts à une discussion si vous souhaitez toujours obtenir de l'aide. N'hésitez pas à contacter notre équipe d'assistance via notre Centre d'aide, en mentionnant votre avis sur Trustpilot afin que nous puissions examiner votre cas plus en détail.

Merci d'avoir pris le temps de partager votre expérience avec nous. ✨

Previously good company turned scammers!

Such a shame to see what has happened to this company. I started using them many years ago - my oldest is 18 now and we used to use this company every year. For the first few years I would use the free videos and they were great quality, then about 7-8 years ago I started paying for their “magic pass” each year to get the more detailed videos. Everything was great. HOWEVER, I never signed up for a subscription and was surprised to see my account automatically charged last year - £19.99! As my kids were 17 and 15, they were a bit old! I contacted PNP and tried to get a refund and got nowhere; they insisted I’d signed up for a subscription (I definitely didn’t) and that I had to go in my account to cancel it - however no subscription was showing in my account so impossible to cancel that way. I then contacted my bank and Apple and got the charge refunded that way. I have a two year old now and tried to use the “free video” this year thinking he’s a bit young to get the paid videos …sadly had the same awful experience as others - poor quality video that cuts off half way through and asks you to pay! It looks like this website/app has unfortunately become a bit of a scam. It used to be so good! My big kids looked forward to “Skyping Santa” every year! I’m sad I won’t be able to give my youngest the same magical experience. A company with better ethical practice and customer service should seriously consider stepping into this gap in the market now!

Hi there,

We’re truly sorry to hear how disappointed you’ve felt with your more recent experiences, especially after having been part of the PNP family for so many years. Reading that your older children once looked forward to “Skyping Santa” every year genuinely means a lot to us, which makes it even harder to know we left you feeling this way now with your youngest.

We’d like to gently clarify that Magic Pass memberships are recurring subscriptions, and information regarding renewal terms, pricing, and cancellation is displayed during purchase and in post-purchase communications. In some cases — particularly with Apple purchases — subscriptions may be managed directly through the Apple ID used at the time of purchase rather than appearing inside the PNP account itself, which can create confusion when attempting to cancel.

We also understand your frustration regarding the free video experience. Portable North Pole offers both free and Premium content, though we recognize how disappointing it can feel for a video to stop unexpectedly during what should be a magical family moment. Feedback like yours is important as we continue improving both our communication and user experience.

Even so, we truly hope your youngest may still get the chance to experience some of the same Christmas magic your older children once enjoyed with PNP. We’d genuinely love the opportunity to help restore your confidence in us and create happier memories for your family moving forward.

Although some time has passed, we remain open to discussing this further if you would still like assistance. Please contact our support team through our Help Center and reference your Trustpilot review so we can investigate your case directly.

Thank you again for the many years you shared with PNP and for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback.

Don’t subscribe

Starts off good but 12 months later I’ve been charged again even though my subscription was cancelled after the first purchase, snoring there is 1 new video in each section so complete waste of money for people with more than 1 child.

Hello Mark,

We’re sorry to hear your experience did not meet expectations and understand the frustration regarding the renewal charge and the content available to you afterward.

We’d like to gently clarify that Magic Pass memberships are recurring subscriptions, and cancellation can be completed at any time prior to renewal to avoid future charges. Information regarding automatic renewal, pricing, and subscription management is displayed before purchase, during checkout, and in post-purchase communications.

We also understand your comments regarding content variety for families with multiple children, and feedback like yours is valuable as we continue improving the experience and expanding our content library each season. You're more than welcome to check our new features.

Although some time has passed, we remain open to discussing this further if you would still like assistance. Please feel free to contact our support team through our Help Center and reference your Trustpilot review so we can investigate your case directly.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
