Ho, ho, ho – Alexa is already in the Christmas spirit from the end of November. Alexa especially likes to answer funny questions about Christmas and even knows what Father Christmas is doing right now. Be there when Alexa locates Father Christmas via GPS or serenades you under the Christmas tree.
Alexa at Christmas and Advent – the best questions
Whoever has an Amazon Echo or Echo Dot at home will get the full Christmas drone from Alexa. At least if he asks the right questions. We tried it out and show the coolest questions you absolutely have to ask Alexa.
- Alexa, Advent Advent: Who needs chocolate when you have Alexa? The voice assistant opens a door of the virtual Advent calendar every day and delivers poems, useless knowledge and fun facts. And if you haven’t had enough, you can ask Alexa again later and, with a bit of luck, get a second helping.
- Alexa, do you know Father Christmas? Yes, it’s true – Alexa believes in Father Christmas. But does Alexa know him personally? By the way, this question also works with the Christ Child.
- Alexa, what does Father Christmas do? Alexa and Father Christmas – is there something going on between them? If you wish, Alexa will be happy to drop in on Santa for you. Don’t think so? Then give it a try…
- Alexa, how long is it until Christmas? If your children always ask you this question, just send the kids to Alexa. She’ll be happy to do the job and sing another Christmas carol with them…
- Alexa, sing a Christmas carol: If the kids are on strike on Christmas Eve, then Alexa will just have to sing. The extensive repertoire of the unfortunately not very talented Alexa includes Jingle Bells, Oh Tannenbaum, Kling Glöckchen, Ihr Kinderlein kommet, Lasst uns froh und munter sein and other classics. Was your favourite song included? Then simply say “Alexa, sing …”.
- Alexa, tell a Christmas poem: Goethe would turn in his grave if he could hear Alexa writing poetry. But the poems are very funny – definitely try them out!
Christmas orders: Alexa’s wish list and mulled wine music
- Alexa, read a Christmas story from Audible: Charles Dickens “A Christmas Story” is iconic and free for all 2017 Amazon Echo owners.
- Alexa, play music to drink mulled wine to: Hot beats to hot mulled wine – the mulled wine-swilling Alexa ushers in a damp and merry Xmas party.
- Alexa, tell me a Christmas joke: watch out, the joke usually comes out flat..
- Alexa, is it snowing at Christmas? This question works from ten days before Christmas, after all Alexa doesn’t have a crystal ball.
- Alexa, play Christmas music: If you need bouncer music at the mulled wine party, Amazon Music’s Christmas radio station is just the ticket. Christmassy and usually a bit quieter – so also suitable for a contemplative Advent afternoon.
