Minneapolis, MN – From Minnesota to Wisconsin to North Dakota, children across the Upper Midwest can now mail their Christmas letters to Santa Claus through the U.S. Postal Service’s Operation Santa program.
According to USPS, Operation Santa gives children the opportunity to write letters addressed to Santa at the North Pole. Once received, the letters are redacted for privacy, digitized, and uploaded to the program’s secure website. Volunteers and “adopters” can then browse the letters and help fulfill holiday wishes. The program has been part of American holiday traditions for more than 100 years.
Key dates for 2025 include:
- November 3 – Adopter registration begins.
- November 17 – Letter adoption opens.
- December 6 – Last day to send letters.
- December 13 – Website closes, final day to ship gifts.
Letters should be addressed to:
Santa Claus
123 Elf Road
North Pole, 88888
Each letter must include a stamp and full return address. USPS reminds families that letters without proper postage cannot be processed and will be returned to the sender.
Once uploaded, letters from children in Minnesota, Wisconsin, and North Dakota become part of a nationwide pool available for adoption. The program continues to bring excitement to kids while offering communities the chance to share kindness and generosity during the Christmas season.
