Philadelphia, PA – From Pennsylvania to Maryland to New Jersey, children across the Mid-Atlantic can now send their Christmas letters to Santa Claus through the U.S. Postal Service’s Operation Santa program.
According to USPS, Operation Santa gives children the chance to write to Santa at the North Pole while volunteers and “adopters” help fulfill holiday wishes. The program, which has been running for over a century, continues to connect families with holiday cheer across the region.
Key dates for 2025 include:
- November 3 – Adopter registration begins.
- November 17 – Letter adoption opens.
- December 6 – Last day to mail letters.
- December 13 – Website closes, final day to ship gifts.
Letters must be addressed to:
Santa Claus
123 Elf Road
North Pole, 88888
Each letter requires proper postage and a full return address. USPS notes that unstamped letters cannot be processed and will be returned to the sender.
Once letters are received, they are securely digitized, redacted, and uploaded to the USPS Operation Santa website. Registered adopters can then choose letters and send gifts directly to children across the Mid-Atlantic and beyond.
The program remains a holiday tradition in Pennsylvania, Maryland, and New Jersey, giving children the joy of sharing their Christmas wishes and providing communities the chance to spread generosity during the holiday season.
