How to send a letter to Santa

Santa and his elves are busy going through letters from children all over the world.

Follow the steps below and help your kids or loved ones send a letter by Friday 1 December 2023 to get a reply before Christmas Day!

You can still send a letter up until Sunday 24 December 2023, and Santa will respond as soon as he can.

1. Write

Santa loves hearing about family Christmas traditions and what’s on a child’s wish list. Get inspired by our handy templates.

2. Check twice!

Don’t forget to clearly write your name and return address on the back of the envelope, so Santa knows where to send your letter.

Please note, Santa can only reply to Australian addresses.

3. Send

Attach a Christmas 65c stamp and post your letters through one of our red street posting boxes or your local Post Office. We’ll get your letter to Santa as soon as we can. Don’t forget, we’re a long way from the North Pole after all!

Please address your letter to:
