From letterbox to inbox

How it works

  1. 1

    Confirm your email

    A parent or carer enters their email and confirms a 6-digit code. No password or account to set up.

  2. 2

    Tell Santa about your child

    Add a photo, type your child's letter, or start without one. Their first name is required; extra details are optional.

  3. 3

    Read Santa's reply

    Check the name, details and wording. You can make changes. Some replies need our team's review before you approve them.

  4. 4

    Approve and email it

    Only your final approval starts sending to your verified inbox, with a printable PDF. Read it, print it at home and share it when you like.

Ready to begin?

There's no physical posting. Everything happens here, and Santa's reply goes to the grown-up's inbox — not directly to your child.

Coming back? Confirm the same email again and choose your saved letter to continue while it is still retained. A different email won't transfer a letter.

A note from the post office team

Grown-ups can use "Create your Santa letter" to enter their child's details or upload a photo of their letter, then preview, edit and approve Santa's reply before it is emailed to them. If this isn't available yet, the North Pole Post Office is still getting ready — please check back soon.

The next page confirms whether online letters are open. Nothing is emailed until you approve your reply.

Sharing with the team instead? Ask Twirl & Swirl about letters they collect. This is separate from the online journey; their team reviews and approves those replies.

A letter from the North Pole

A fictional child's letter

Dear Santa, My name is Ottilie and I am 7. This year I learned to ride my bike without stabilisers! I love drawing foxes and making snow angels. I hope Rudolph is well. Please could I have some paints? Love from Ottilie

For parents and carers

A note for grown-ups

Real people, careful letters

Each reply is drafted with the help of AI and checked against Santa's rules. Then a grown-up always reads and approves it before it's sent: you, if you create the letter online, or a member of our team for letters they collect. Some letters are read by our team first. Our checks are careful, but no check is perfect.

No promises about presents

Santa's letters never promise particular gifts, never mention naughty lists, and never say Santa is watching. They celebrate your child's own words and leave the surprises entirely up to you.

Only what we need

We only ask for your email address and your child's first name. We never ask for surnames, addresses, dates of birth or schools. The letter is emailed to you, not your child, so you choose when to share it.

Not kept for long

Photos of letters are deleted soon after the reply is sent, and the rest of the record follows shortly after. You can ask us to delete everything sooner at any time.
