Things to tell Santa.

Stuck on what to write? Here are some magical prompts to get you started.

What was your favourite memory this year?

e.g. “When I learned to ride my bike!

What do you wish for most?

e.g. “A telescope to see the stars.

Who do you want to help this Christmas?

e.g. “I want to give my brother a gift too.

Tell Santa about your pet or family.

e.g. “My dog Max loves playing in the snow!

What's something kind you did?

e.g. “I helped my grandma carry groceries.

What's your favourite Christmas tradition?

e.g. “Decorating cookies with my mom.

Tips for the perfect letter.

Write Neatly

Use a pen, not pencil. Pencil can smudge by the time it reaches the North Pole, and Santa's elves need to read every word.

Add Drawings

Santa loves seeing artwork! Drawings, paintings, and colorings all make him smile — and he keeps his favourites.

Include Return Address

Without your address, Santa can't write back. Always include it on the envelope AND inside the letter.

Mail Early

December 7 is the deadline. Letters that arrive earlier get longer replies because the elves have more time.
