Atlanta, GA – From Florida to Virginia, children across the Southeast are now able to mail their Christmas letters to Santa Claus through the U.S. Postal Service’s Operation Santa program.
According to USPS, Operation Santa allows children to write letters to Santa at the North Pole. Those letters are then digitized and uploaded to a secure online system where volunteers and “adopters” can choose wishes to fulfill. The program, which has been part of American holiday traditions for more than a century, continues to spread cheer to families across the region.
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 reminds families that all letters must have a full return address and proper postage to be processed. Letters without stamps will be returned to the sender.
Once received, letters are redacted for privacy, digitized, and added to the USPS Operation Santa website. Registered adopters can then pick letters and send gifts directly to children across the Southeast.
The program has become a cherished holiday tradition in Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, and Virginia, bringing communities together to share kindness and Christmas spirit.
