Los Angeles, CA – Children across California are now invited to send their Christmas letters to Santa Claus through the U.S. Postal Service’s Operation Santa program, a tradition that has spread holiday cheer nationwide for more than a century.
According to USPS, Operation Santa gives kids the chance to write directly to Santa at the North Pole. Each letter is digitized, redacted for privacy, and uploaded to the program’s secure website. Volunteers and “adopters” can then choose letters and help fulfill Christmas wishes.
Key dates for 2025 include:
- November 3 – Adopter registration opens.
- November 17 – Letter adoption begins.
- December 6 – Final day to mail 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 require postage and a full return address. Letters without stamps will be returned to the sender.
Once uploaded, letters from California children become part of a nationwide collection available for adoption. The program continues to grow in popularity, offering children the excitement of writing to Santa while giving communities the chance to share kindness during the Christmas season.
