Santa letters royal.mail
A festive topic!
In the UK, Royal Mail offers a special service for children to send letters to Santa Claus. Here's how it works:
Royal Mail's Santa Letter Service
- Children can write their letters to Santa Claus and send them to the special address: Santa, Santa's Grotto, Reindeer Road, XM4 5HQ.
- Royal Mail will collect the letters and sort them at their special sorting office in Birmingham.
- The letters will then be taken to the North Pole, where Santa and his elves will read them and respond with a special reply.
- The replies will be sent back to the children by Royal Mail, usually within 3-5 working days.
Tips and Reminders
- Make sure to include the child's name and address on the envelope so that Santa can respond correctly.
- You can also include a return address on the envelope if you'd like to receive the reply.
- Royal Mail recommends using a first-class stamp, as this will help ensure that the letter reaches the North Pole quickly.
- The service is available from mid-November to December 12th each year.
- You can also track the progress of your letter on the Royal Mail website.
Special Offers
- Royal Mail offers a range of special Santa-themed stamps and postmarks each year.
- You can also purchase special Santa-themed gift wrapping paper and gift tags to make your letter-giving experience even more festive.
Fun Facts
- Over 1 million letters are sent to Santa each year through Royal Mail's special service.
- The letters are sorted and processed by a team of volunteers at the Royal Mail's sorting office in Birmingham.
- Santa's Grotto is a special sorting office that is only open during the holiday season.
