Every year, thousands of families send letters to Santa at the North Pole. The USPS Operation Santa® program makes it possible for people to adopt and respond to these letters, fulfilling the holiday wishes of children and families across the country.

Letters addressed to Santa’s official address are sorted, read and published on the USPS Operation Santa® website with personal information redacted. Adopters are then able to browse and select letters they love and respond with a gift and a note. 

• Monday, September 15: Letters can now be sent to: 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888.
