United States Postal Service Begins Accepting Letters to Santa

The 100-year-old program lets individuals and groups adopt letters, with submissions required to be postmarked by Dec. 5.

  • On Monday, the United States Postal Service began accepting holiday letters for its "Operation Santa" initiative, allowing children and families to send requests to the North Pole.
  • Although Christmas is more than three months away, the Postal Service continues a tradition spanning more than 100 years, helping Santa prepare for the season.
  • Letters must follow program guidelines and be postmarked by Dec. 5, 2026, to be eligible for adoption; participants should address mail to "Santa Claus" at 123 Elf Road, North Pole.
  • "For some, the simple act of exchanging even small gifts is out of reach," said Sheila Holman, vice president of marketing for the Postal Service.
  • Registration for individuals or groups to adopt letters begins November 2, with the adoption window opening November 16, though the Postal Service reminds participants that adoption is not guaranteed.
