How to 'film' a reindeer in your home this Christmas Eve for your kids - a four step guide

If you're looking to inject some festive magic into your children's lives this year as they excitedly open their presents from Santa, you need to try out McDonald's Reindeer Ready Live app.

Following on from its success last Christmas, the popular app is back and is set to bring joy and excitement to thousands of kids this festive season.

It allows parents to capture footage of Santa's reindeer in your very own house when they arrive on Christmas Eve.

Here's how it works:

  1. Visit  reindeerready.co.uk/live  on your smartphone or tablet. Make sure it's on a compatible device as this does not work on desktop.
  2. Click 'Get Started' and then 'I'm Ready.'
  3. Next, you can either choose a photo from your camera roll or take one at the exact spot in your house where you want the reindeer to appear. You can also choose how you want to position the animal in the room by using the 'flip the reindeer' option.
  4. Agree to the terms and conditions and wait 30 seconds for your video to process. You can share it social media or share via email afterwards.

And that's it! The smiles and excitement in your little ones faces will be priceless.
