Phoenix, AZ – From Texas to Arizona to Colorado, children across the Southwest 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 a holiday tradition for more than 100 years, giving children the chance to write letters to Santa at the North Pole while volunteers and “adopters” help fulfill holiday wishes. The program continues to spread Christmas cheer across the region.
Key dates for 2025 include:
- November 3 – Adopter registration begins.
- November 17 – Letter adoption opens.
- 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
USPS officials remind families that all letters require a stamp and a full return address to be processed. Unstamped letters will be returned to the sender.
Once letters are received, they are digitized, redacted for privacy, and uploaded to the USPS Operation Santa website. Registered adopters can then browse the letters and send gifts directly to children across Texas, Arizona, and Colorado.
The program has become a beloved holiday tradition in the Southwest, giving families the chance to share their wishes and communities the opportunity to give back during the Christmas season.
