Momoji or Animoji with a Santa hat
Christmas is coming! Time to dust off the Santa hat. Did you know that you can easily create a personalized Animoji character with Santa hat on an iPhone (or iPad) with iOS 13 or later? Apple calls this doll Memoji.
Such a Memoji can look like you or very different, just what you want. In either case, the character imitates your movements and facial expressions, just like an Animoji. To make a moving (Christmas) Memoji, you need an iPhone with Face ID (and iOS 13 or higher).
Add Santa hat to existing Memoji
If you already have a Memoji, it’s pretty easy to add a Santa hat. Don’t have a Memoji yet? Then read our guide to Memoji and Animoji. Here’s exactly how to make one. Then, follow the steps below to add a Santa hat to your Memoji or Animoji.
Add a Santa hat to your Memoji on iPhone or iPad
- Open the ‘Messages’ app and choose a chat conversation;

Send a Memoji or Animoji with Santa hat
Your Memoji is now ready to use and can be used immediately. In the Messages app, tap the Memoji icon (this is the face with hearts for eyes) and select the face with the Santa hat. Then choose one of the figures below to send.
