Writing a letter to Santa is a special part of the Christmas countdown. It’s a chance for little ones to share their wishes, tell Santa what they’ve been up to and ask the questions they’ve been saving all year.
Once their letter is ready, there’s one very important question: where should they send it?
At Lapland Letters, Santa’s Christmas post is looked after by Elf Postie and the team at the Lapland Postal Dept. Here’s everything your child needs to know about sending their wishes on their magical journey.
Santa’s Christmas post makes its way to the Lapland Postal Dept. on Letterbox Lane.
You’ll find the address on the magical envelope included in our Letter to Santa Pack:
Lapland Postal Dept.
Letterbox Lane
Reindeer Way
Lapland
Once the envelope has been stamped and sealed, it’s ready for its magical journey to Lapland.
Every busy postal department needs someone to make sure the letters reach the right place. At the Lapland Postal Dept., that someone is Elf Postie.
As Chief Postal Elf, Postie takes great care of the letters and wish lists that arrive from children. When the Lapland Letterbox twinkles, Postie comes running to check each piece of Christmas post.
Every letter and wish list is checked twice before being carried to Santa’s Official Desk, ready for him to read.
A letter to Santa can be about so much more than Christmas presents. It’s a chance for children to share the things that make them who they are.
They might like to tell Santa how old they are, what they love doing or something kind they have done this year. They could share a favourite memory, draw a picture or ask Santa a question they have always wondered about.
Of course, there’s room for Christmas wishes too. Whether their wish list is long, short or still a work in progress, the most important thing is that it comes from them.
Our Letter to Santa Pack helps make the experience feel extra special, with everything little ones need to prepare their Christmas post.
The Letter to Santa Pack has been put together with a little help from Elf Postie and friends at the Lapland Postal Dept.
Inside, your child will find:
A letter from Elf Postie, introducing them to the Lapland Postal Dept. and explaining how to prepare their Christmas post.
A Postie Pencil, ready for writing to Santa.
Elf Ribbons’ Notes and Doodles sheets, for practising ideas and drawing.
Elf Willow’s Wish List, for Christmas wishes and dreams.
Magical Letter Sheets, for writing a message to Santa.
A magical envelope, Magical Postage Stamps and a Lapland Seal, to get the letter ready for its journey.
Lapland postcards, so children can share a little Christmas magic with someone special.
From the first doodle to the final seal, each step is designed to make writing to Santa a moment to enjoy together.
Elf Postie has included five simple steps to help children get their Christmas post ready.
Use Elf Ribbons’ Notes and Doodles sheets to try out ideas, draw pictures and practise what they might like to say to Santa.
Fill in Elf Willow’s Wish List with Christmas wishes and dreams. Perhaps one of those wishes will become a Wishing Star for Willow to find.
Use the Magical Letter Sheets and Postie Pencil to tell Santa about their year, share their favourite things and ask him any questions.
Place the letter and wish list inside the magical envelope. Choose a favourite Magical Postage Stamp and close the envelope with a Lapland Seal.
Give the finished envelope to a grown-up, or leave it somewhere special for Santa to collect during a reindeer test flight from Reindeer Runway.
This is where a little Lapland magic begins.
The Magical Postage Stamp guides the envelope through the Magical Portal to Letterbox Lane. When the Lapland Letterbox twinkles, Elf Postie knows that another important letter has arrived.
Postie checks the letter and wish list twice, adds the official Lapland Postmark and carries them safely to Santa’s Official Desk.
There, Santa has his Enchanted Glasses, Magical Quill and everlasting Infinity Ink ready to help him read each message and make a special note of every wish.
Receiving a letter from Santa can be a wonderful way to continue the excitement after your child has shared their own Christmas wishes.
Our personalised letters from Santa can include your child’s name and personal details, creating a message that feels especially for them.
Paired with the Letter to Santa Pack, it’s a lovely way to make writing to Santa and hearing from him part of your family’s Christmas tradition.
Whether your little one has a wish list ready or needs a little help deciding what to say, Elf Postie and friends are here to make writing to Santa feel magical.
Pick up a Postie Pencil, gather those Christmas wishes and get ready to send a little magic to Letterbox Lane.
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.

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.
