Nashville, TN – From Missouri to Tennessee to Kentucky, children across the Midlands are now invited to send their Christmas letters to Santa Claus through the U.S. Postal Service’s Operation Santa program.
According to USPS, Operation Santa gives kids the chance to write letters to Santa at the North Pole. Letters are then digitized, redacted for privacy, and uploaded to the Operation Santa website, where volunteers and “adopters” can select wishes to fulfill. The program has been running for more than a century and continues to spread 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 should be addressed to:
Santa Claus
123 Elf Road
North Pole, 88888
USPS officials stress that each letter must include a stamp and full return address. Letters without postage will be returned.
Once processed, letters from children in Missouri, Tennessee, and Kentucky join thousands nationwide on the Operation Santa platform. Registered adopters can then pick letters and send gifts directly, bringing joy to kids across the Midlands.
The program remains a holiday tradition across the region, offering children the excitement of reaching Santa while giving communities the chance to share kindness and generosity.
