Your month at a glance for December 2026. This festive calendar helps families gently map out the season, from the countdown to Christmas Eve 2026 to the little traditions that make December feel so special.
Astro the elf helped shape this part of the planner, making sure the countdown to Christmas unfolds at just the right pace. Decorating the tree, writing letters, baking treats, festive walks, and cosy film nights all find their place here. Marking these moments helps children understand how Christmas is drawing closer, one magical day at a time.
And because the magic never stops, the planner even includes a playful note about Santa’s well deserved holiday after Christmas 2026. After travelling the world delivering gifts, Santa enjoys a little rest in the New Year. The elves are fairly certain sunshine and sandy toes may be involved.
Never miss sending a Christmas card in 2026. With a naughty or nice tick box added by our cheeky elves, this part of the planner helps families keep track of everyone they would like to send festive post to, from family and friends to neighbours and colleagues.
Postie, who runs the Lapland Post Room, always whispers the same advice each year: the calmest Christmases begin with a little planning in November. By starting card planning early and staying ahead of busy December post, families can avoid last minute rushing and enjoy more time for cocoa, cosy evenings, and festive moments.
To help families plan with confidence, Postie keeps the latest UK Christmas posting guidance for 2026 carefully updated, alongside trusted postal advice from Royal Mail.
Keep track of your Christmas 2026 gift list like a true Lapland helper. From thoughtful presents for loved ones to secret Santa surprises, this part of the planner gives families space to gather ideas as they appear and plan everything calmly.
In the Lapland workshops, gifts are never rushed. The elves note ideas carefully, often inspired by trusted UK Christmas gift guides or festive shop windows, before making final choices. Families often do the same, using this page to capture inspiration before deciding what feels just right.
While filling in the Gift Planner, some families like to think beyond the presents themselves and plan a few special extras that make Christmas morning feel even more magical. The elves know it is often the words, stories, and surprises that children remember long after the wrapping paper is gone.
Letter extras, keepsakes, and small magical touches can be noted alongside gifts in the planner, helping families create moments that feel thoughtful and personal.
Astro and the countdown elves always say that the magic of Christmas is not just found on Christmas Eve, but in the days and weeks leading up to it. The countdown to Christmas 2026 is a time for wonder, patience, and gentle excitement, especially for little ones.
To help guide families through this special time, magical countdown letters are written to arrive during December. Each one is carefully crafted to help children understand how close Christmas really is, gently encouraging kindness, calm behaviour, and cosy evenings as the big day approaches.
The Christmas Countdown Plus letters help mark the journey through December, turning waiting into something joyful and reassuring.
As Christmas draws nearer, the Christmas Is Nearly Here letters focus on the final days before Christmas Eve, helping excitement feel magical rather than overwhelming.
Used alongside the 2026 Christmas Planner, these letters become part of a gentle festive rhythm, just as they are in Lapland, helping the magic build naturally, one day at a time.
With the Lapland Letters 2026 Christmas Planner, festive planning feels calm, joyful, and wonderfully magical. Simply download, print, and let the Christmas 2026 countdown begin.
Whether you are sipping a warm cup of cocoa, writing Christmas cards, or wrapping presents by the fire, these pages help December unfold just as Postie, Astro, and the rest of the Lapland elves intend, full of excitement, kindness, and a little Lapland magic.
Father Christmas loves to receive letters! If your child would like to write a letter to Santa, we recommend they include a few fun festive facts about themselves (What is their favourite Christmas tradition? What do they like to put on top of their hot chocolate? Do they prefer Jingle Bells or When Santa got stuck in the chimney?) as well as the latest update on their Christmas Wish. If they like writing on paper, then they can send it to the Lapland Postal Department via Royal Mail using the address below. Or, if their grown up has access to email, they can whizz it over to [email protected] who will make sure Santa sees it.
The Lapland Elves have lots of lovely friends in the Royal Mail, who make sure that all letters addressed to our Lapland Letters address make it safely to our UK Postal Department. From there, the Lapland Elves use Christmas magic to make sure each letter makes it way safely to Santa’s desk.

More than just your child’s name and age, each letter is uniquely written to capture precious personal details, each Santa letter can be signed by Santa, Santa Claus or even Father Christmas.

While the most famous of the herd is undoubtedly Rudolph with his glowing red nose, Santa travels with a legendary team including Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen. Each of these legendary reindeer names represents a unique personality that helps the team work together to deliver joy across the globe.
When they aren’t busy preparing for their Christmas Eve flight, the herd spends their time roaming the snowy forests and rolling hills. You can find Santa’s reindeer living in Lapland, where the crisp Arctic air and abundance of mossy treats provide the perfect home for them to rest and play throughout the year.
