Honolulu, HI – From Hawaiʻi to Alaska, children in America’s farthest-reaching states can now send their Christmas letters to Santa Claus through the U.S. Postal Service’s Operation Santa program.
According to USPS, Operation Santa has been part of American holiday traditions for more than 100 years. Children write letters addressed to Santa at the North Pole, which are then redacted for privacy, digitized, and uploaded to a secure online platform. Volunteers and “adopters” can browse those letters and help fulfill holiday wishes.
Key dates for 2025 include:
- November 3 – Adopter registration opens.
- November 17 – Letter adoption begins.
- December 6 – Final day to mail letters.
- December 13 – Website closes, last day to ship gifts.
Letters should be addressed to:
Santa Claus
123 Elf Road
North Pole, 88888
Each letter must include proper postage and a full return address. USPS officials note that letters without stamps cannot be processed and will be returned to the sender.
Once uploaded, letters from children in Hawaiʻi and Alaska join thousands from across the country, allowing registered adopters to pick letters and send gifts directly.
The program continues to be a cherished holiday tradition, bringing joy to children in Honolulu, Anchorage, and beyond, while giving communities an opportunity to spread kindness and generosity during the Christmas season.
