Boston, MA – From Massachusetts to Maine to New York, children across New England are now invited to mail their Christmas letters to Santa Claus through the U.S. Postal Service’s Operation Santa program.
According to USPS, Operation Santa allows kids to write letters addressed to Santa at the North Pole, which are then digitized and uploaded to a secure online system. Volunteers and “adopters” from across the country can select letters and help fulfill holiday wishes, continuing a tradition that has brought joy to families for more than 100 years.
Key dates for 2025 include:
- November 3 – Adopter registration begins.
- November 17 – Letter adoption opens.
- December 6 – Final day to send letters.
- December 13 – Website closes, last day to ship gifts.
Letters must be addressed to:
Santa Claus
123 Elf Road
North Pole, 88888
USPS officials remind families that all letters require a stamp and full return address to be processed. Letters without postage will be returned.
Once received, USPS staff carefully redact personal details before posting letters online. Registered adopters can then select a letter, purchase gifts, and send them directly to the child.
The program continues to be a holiday tradition across New England, offering children the chance to share their wishes while giving communities an opportunity to spread generosity and holiday spirit.
