Your chat's Christmas, as a story.

The Christmas Special opens on 1 December and runs to 6 January. Bring the family group, the mates who can't agree on a date for drinks, or just you and your other half.

What you get

Chat Stories reads your chat and finds the festive saga hiding in it: the great sprouts debate, the Secret Santa budget that nobody stuck to, the cousin who replies to everything with a GIF. AI casts everyone in the chat, writes a Christmas story from your real messages and performs it with a cast of voices and proper seasonal music.

Picture it: “Who's bringing the trifle?” sung by a narrator with a choir behind them, or a whole tense episode about whether Dad has actually bought the turkey yet. Every line is something someone really said. (That example is made up. Yours will be better.)

How it works

Export your chat from your phone: a group chat or a one-to-one.
Pick the Christmas Special. We read the whole chat for the best festive moments.
Hear the start free, then unlock the rest and drop it straight back in the chat.

Your chat stays on your phone

Your chat is read on your phone and never stored. Only what's needed to write the story is sent (a selection of messages from across the chat and some anonymous counts), with phone numbers, addresses and anything sensitive taken out first, and we don't keep it.

Before 1 December

You can make a story in any of our other genres right now: comedy, action, horror, romance, sci-fi, western, nature documentary or musical. Then come back on 1 December for the festive one. See what's free and what it costs.
