Santa Mail | Write & Send a Letter to Santa this Christmas

Families right across Australia can spread the merry by encouraging kids to step away from digital screens and return to the evergreen practice of handwriting. The Santa Mail website features an activity guide suitable for ages 5–12, as well as festive templates to inspire creativity so the letters stand out on Santa’s desk.

Families can mail their letters right up until 2 December 2022. Some Post Offices will also have a floor-standing Santa Mailbox for you to pop your letters into.

Australia Post Head of Marketing Communications, Corrina Brazel, says,

“Letter writing is such a wonderful way for kids to express themselves creatively – either in a group or as an individual. Writing to Santa is the chance to get all those extra special wishes out into the world with the hope that Santa will make them come true!”

4 Steps to Send a Letter to Santa:

1. Brainstorm – Get inspired by the handy templates and ideas for parents and teachers.
2. Write – Santa loves hearing about family Christmas traditions, and what’s on a child’s wish list.
3. Send – Post your letters to Santa’s address below as soon as you can – we’re a long way away from the North Pole after all!
4. Track – Follow your letter’s journey to Santa’s mailbox using their interactive Santa Mail Tracker.

SENDING INFO FOR PARENTS
