WHEN
This service will be available 10am to 8:30pm most weekdays and weekends for onsite greetings from December 2 – 18, 2019.
WHAT
The greetings are generally 1-5 minutes. You can use some props, sing a song, do a short skit, share a greeting, recite a poem, or any other fun idea you come up with. If you record at MATV’s studio, you can opt for a background for the recording, because MATV has a green screen.

For a small fee ($10), you can have a separate video and video link that you can embed and share on your publicity and outreach channels.

HOW
The process of reserving and sharing a holiday greeting thru MATV is as follows:
- Gather your team and figure out where and when you want to record the greeting.
- Decide on the type of greeting you want to share: song, skit, banter, jokes, unison greeting, announcement, poem, etc. It is best to have that ready to go before you arrive on set.
- Schedule the greeting (and make online payment if relevant) (see below).
- If you schedule an on-location holiday greeting, an MATV representative will respond to your appointment request to confirm the location.
- Arrive or be ready for camera action 10 minutes before your scheduled appointment
- Within three business days, receive the video link (if you reserved it) by email and your greeting is added to the collection
