With the festive season fast approaching, Royal Mail has issued a crucial reminder to parents across the UK: the final date to post your child's letter to Santa and guarantee a magical reply is Wednesday, 10th December 2025.
Don't Miss the Magical Deadline
The postal service took to social media last month to announce the return of its beloved Santa Mail service. In a festive video, a Royal Mail employee wearing a Santa hat urged families to get their letters written and sent in good time. The message was clear: to ensure Santa reads your wishes and sends a response before his big night, envelopes must be posted by the 10th of December.
How to Send Your Letter to Father Christmas
To participate in this cherished tradition, children need to address their letters correctly. The official address for Santa this year is: 'Santa/Father Christmas, Santa's Grotto, Reindeerland, XM4 5HQ'.
Parents must remember to put a stamp on the envelope so it can reach the North Pole and to clearly write the child's full name and home address on the back. The good news is that no extra postage is required for Santa's reply – Royal Mail covers the cost for his response.
Ensuring Inclusivity for All Children
Royal Mail has also made provisions to ensure every child can join in. Families who require a braille or British Sign Language version of Santa's reply can find all necessary information on the dedicated Santa Mail page of the Royal Mail website.
The announcement has generated significant excitement online, with the initial social media post receiving hundreds of likes and comments. Many users tagged loved ones to spread the word and ensure no one misses out on this enchanting opportunity.
The timing of the reminder is particularly apt, as December 4th is recognised as Santa's List Day – the very day Santa is said to finalise his famous naughty and nice lists. So, for parents hoping to preserve the wonder of Christmas for their little ones, the message is simple: grab a pen, help your child write their festive wishes, and get that letter in the post before the December 10th deadline.
