Where to send a letter to Santa?

Many people can't imagine Christmas without writing letters to Father Christmas. But, preparing the content is only half the battle. You also need to ensure that the letter gets into the right hands - this is where addressing the envelope correctly is important. If you're planning to send a letter to Santa in 2025, there are several addresses to choose from around the world. Whether you want to use the traditional postal service or send an electronic message, you will find the most important information below.

A few words from Father Christmas 

Ho, ho, ho! Hello, dear children! Every year I receive thousands of letters from you. I read them all with great joy! I love the stories about incidents from the backyard or school, I really enjoy the descriptions of your adventures. I am very pleased when you ask how I am doing, when you are interested in news from my cottage. I also appreciate the questions about the well-being of the elves and reindeer. You write especially often about Rudolph, who drives my magic sleigh - when you mention him in your letters, he jumps for joy. 

I cannot leave out the beautiful illustrations that often adorn your letters. I am impressed by your talent and creativity.

Of course, I go over the list of dream gifts carefully with my elves. I am most delighted when you ask not only for toys, but also for health for loved ones or trinkets for your siblings or colleagues. Such lists show that the magic of Christmas is not only about presents, but above all about love and caring for others. 

Thank you for every word! I hope to receive even more special letters this year.

Tips for sending letters

• Add a return address: This way Santa and his helpers will know where to send the reply. 
• Send the letter in advance: It is best to send your letter in early December, this will give you the confidence that it will arrive on time.
• Include a drawing or decoration: Santa and his helpers will appreciate additional items such as drawings or Christmas decorations.
• Check out local initiatives: Many countries, including Poland, organise special programmes that allow you to send letters to Santa without giving an exact address.

Electronic contact

Those who prefer modern forms of communication can send e-mails. Santa's official email address is:

Whichever form of contact you choose, remember that the most important thing is to send sincere wishes and good intentions. Santa will certainly appreciate every letter!
