About Your Santa Letters

Imagine your child waking up on Christmas morning only to discover Santa Claus has left them a Christmas letter. These are not just any Santa letters, they focus on kindness and values, not toys. For families with multiple children, choose from 4 unique templates, each personalised with names, achievements/characteristics, and heartfelt notes. Celebrate your child's magic and milestones with a moment they'll look forward to every Christmas.

Our templates for our personalised Santa letter will change each year, meaning you will never run out of beautiful letters from Santa Claus or have to send the same one twice.

Letter & Envelope Details +

Our magical Santa letter envelopes come with a matte gold foiled monogram of The Mailroom Of Santa Claus, 4 custom artisan stamp designs, a white personalised printed address and a red monogram wax seal. Your envelopes will arrive unsealed.

Our two colour options for our envelopes are Green & Red. We have chosen these colours to reflect our love of traditional Christmas design & style.

Our envelopes measure 190 x 130mm and are designed to fit perfectly inside our Santa Letter Keepsake Boxes.

Our stunning foiled Santa Letters measure 240 x 180mm and are printed on a thick, textured ivory cardstock. It was important to us that the letters feel as authentic as possible, as if straight from the desk of Santa Claus. Our letters are then folded down the centre to fit inside the envelope.

The Watchful Elf

My dearest [Name],

I have been looking forward to writing this letter to you for some time [Name]. I’ve seen how kind you have been this year, always bringing happiness to those around you. Your kindness has not gone unnoticed. It shines so brightly, even here at the North Pole. But did you know it is not just me who has been watching over you? There’s a special little elf in my workshop named Ember, who thinks you’re truly amazing. Ember is a shy little elf, with red hair and rosy cheeks, and [Name], you have become very special to them.

Ember told me how you [achievement] and how you show kindness in ways big and small. Every time you do, the stars above the North Pole twinkle a little brighter, helping me find my way to you on Christmas Eve. Ember really wanted to deliver this letter to you tonight. They have never been to [Location], but no matter how much the reindeer reassured them, Ember is still afraid of flying.

Remember, [Name], the real magic of Christmas is in believing. Believing in magic. Ember and I are so proud of you. Not just for what you have achieved, but for the kind and thoughtful person you are. Keep believing in that magic and it will shine through you all year long, lighting up the lives of those around you.

With all my love and Christmas magic,

Santa Claus

The Night Sky
View Template

My dearest [Name],

As I was making my way to [Location], I found myself thinking about the night sky. There’s something about the stars that I’ve never told you before. The oldest, wisest elves often share tales of the stars and their magical glow. And do you know what makes those stars twinkle so brightly? It’s you, [Name].

Each time you show kindness, like when you [Act of Kindness], the stars above glow a little brighter, helping me find my way to you at Christmas time. The elves often gather around the fire, sharing tales of children just like you, whose light shines so brightly it reaches all the way to the North Pole. But there’s something especially magical about you, [Name]. Your kindness is so special that it doesn’t just light up the night sky, it also lights up the hearts of everyone around you, bringing warmth and happiness wherever you go.

When you help a friend, share a smile, or show kindness in big or small ways, it’s like sending a little bit of Christmas magic up into the sky. So, the next time you look up at the night sky, remember that those shining stars reflect all the kindness in the world, and you’re a special part of that magic. Keep making the elves and me proud, [Name] and know that every act of kindness makes the world a brighter place.

All my love and Christmas magic,

Santa Claus

The Helpful Reindeer
View Template

My dearest [Name],

There’s a reindeer in my family that I want to tell you about. His name is Comet,
and while all the reindeer are special, Comet has a unique gift. He’s not the fastest or the strongest, but he’s always the first to lend a helping hoof. Whether it’s comforting a shy elf, helping another reindeer carry an extra load, or simply being there with a warm nudge, Comet understands that the simplest acts of kindness are the most magical.


It’s not just the grand gestures that make the world a better place, [Name]. It’s the small, thoughtful things we do every day. Like a warm hug, a gentle word, or a helping hand, that are truly magical to someone else. And from what I’ve seen, you’ve got that same magic in your heart. Just like when you [Act of Kindess]. That shows how much you care and makes a difference, more than you might ever know.


You see [Name], the real treasures of Christmas aren’t found in the toys and games, but in the simple, caring things we do for others. When I landed here at [Location], I immediately felt your kindness all around. It’s the sort of kindness that makes Christmas so magical and special for those around you.

So, keep being that wonderful, kind-hearted person you are, [Name].
The world needs more of the magic that comes from you. You are making the world a better place every single day.
With all my love and Christmas magic,

Santa Claus

Magic & Stardust
View Template

My dearest [Name],

There’s something truly magical that I want to share with you. You see, every time something wonderful and unexpected happens, something that makes your heart skip a beat, real magic is at work. This magic is all around us, especially at Christmas, and it’s made even stronger by those who believe in it.

I can see the magic that shines within you, [Name]. When you believe in magic, it comes out of you like stardust, brightening everything around you. What I find most magical about you is the way you [Quality/Characteristic]. You bring light and joy to everyone you meet.

Christmas is the most magical time of the year, when the world is filled with wonder and joy. It’s the perfect time to believe in magic because it’s when the magic is strongest. When I arrived at [Location] to deliver this letter, I found my way because of your belief. Your magic guided me here, lighting the way just like the stars in the night sky.

So, the next time you feel something magical, remember that it’s your belief that makes it real. Keep that magic alive in your heart, [Name], because every time you believe, you help make the world a more magical place.
With all my love and Christmas magic,

Santa Claus

The Letter From Santa

In our Individual Letters from Santa Claus, there are up to seven elements of personalisation. There are four templates to choose from, each with multiple options for personalisation. Including your Child's name, location and an achievement or act of kindess from this year. Finally a personalised P.S. message at the bottom.

Please note, the personalised text is printed exactly as you have written it, so be sure to read through our templates to see how your answer will fit into the relevant sentence.

The Font

We have two font options for our letters.

One is a "fancy" cursive font and other is a classic and timeless "Block" font.

We have two options in case you need your letter to be more legible for children at a reading level.

  • Holiday Fun

    At The Mailroom we are all about sentimental Christmas items and family heirlooms.

    A cherished Christmas memory from our founders’ grandparents’ home is classic children’s Christmas book “Holiday Fun.” The book cover shows a girl and a boy standing on a fence with trumpets. Published in 1900, we couldn’t pass up turning it into one of our 2024 stamps.

  • Reindeer

    We want each of our stamps to be artwork in its own right. This portrait of Comet, one of Santa’s reindeer, is a classic black & white etching of him resting among the trees.

    Notice all our stamps are 25c? That little detail celebrates our favourite day: December 25th.

  • Santa Claus

    Every year in the North Pole, Santa gathers with his elves for the unveiling of his annual portrait. We’ve included that portrait as one of our 2024 stamps—so when you receive a letter from Santa, you’re also getting a piece of his cherished tradition.

Santa Letter FAQs

Is My Child Too Young for a Santa Letter?

Absolutely not! Kids are never too young to start a magical Christmas tradition. While your little one might be too young to fully understand the meaning now, as they grow, they'll have something truly special to look back on. Imagine their excitement when they realise that Santa has been writing to them every year, building memories and keeping the magic of Christmas alive. These letters will become cherished keepsakes, marking the beginning of a beautiful tradition that grows with them.

When should I give my children their letters?

Most families place their Santa letters out on Christmas Eve, ready to be opened on Christmas morning. Some letter types reference Christmas Eve or Santa flying through the night sky, which lends itself naturally to a Christmas-morning reveal.That said, the moment is yours to choose. The letter is yours from the day it arrives, so you can give it whenever feels right for your family’s tradition. If you spot a detail you would like changed before printing, please contact us as soon as possible after ordering.

Can I write my own letter from Santa?

Yes. Our Write Your Own Letter lets you create a letter from Santa in your own words. It is best when you have very specific wording in mind, a family joke, a tender moment, an announcement, or anything outside our guided templates.Use the builder to draft and preview your letter as you go. Please read it carefully before ordering, especially names, dates and custom wording, as your letter is created from the details you provide.

How should I store my Santa letters?

Our Santa letters are designed to be kept. Store them flat, somewhere dry and away from direct sunlight, and they will last for many Christmases to come.If you would like a dedicated keepsake home for them, our Letters from Santa Keepsake Box is made to hold a year-by-year collection.

Do you offer international shipping?

Yes. We ship from Australia and offer international shipping to selected destinations. Shipping options and costs are shown at checkout and start from $15 AUD where available.

Can I include more than one child in a Santa letter?

If you would like one shared letter, our Family Letter is designed for siblings and families. It includes everyone’s names and the family’s special moments together.If each child needs their own personal details, proud moment or magical address, Individual Santa Letters are the better choice. Our family rate is applied automatically when you add multiple Santa letters to your cart, so you can create one letter for each child if you would like.
