Thanksgiving has come and gone — which means the holiday season has officially begun. And if you need help getting into the holiday spirit, Vivint has just released a long list of Winter Doorbell Chimes and Approach Chimes for the Doorbell Camera Pro. All the chimes are free to use for members, and they’ll be available through January 2.
Anyone throwing a holiday party will love the quirky new chimes, as they offer a bit of festive flair for guests coming to your front door. Doorbell Chimes play when the Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro is rung, while Approach Chimes activate as soon as a guest gets near your front door. Here’s a look at all the new seasonal tones available to Vivint members:
Getting these activated on your Vivint Doorbell Camera Pro is simple. Just launch the app, then slect the Cameras icon from the menu. From here, select the Gear icon and find your doorbell. You’ll then see an option for Holiday Chimes, which can be toggled on or off. You’ll also be able to modify the activation zone for your Approach Chime, ensuring it doesn’t activate too frequently.
Unlike many smart home security products, Vivint isn’t exactly a DIY solution. Instead, it offers a more premium alternative for folks who don’t want to worry about piecing together their system and would rather have an expert craft the best setup for them. Our Vivint review found it to be a sophisticated solution to home security — and now with these new chimes, it’s pretty festive too.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
