Free letters from Santa scheme opens – here’s how kids can get involved

Writing to Father Christmas is a festive tradition we can all get behind. For children it makes the event that bit more special – and for the parents you get a handy list of what the kids are hankering after.

The better news is that Royal Mail have a free service where if you write to Santa, you even get a reply from the “North Pole” – and its Write to Santa scheme is now open.

“Get a free letter from Father Christmas or Santa whatever the big guy is called in your house for free from Royal Mail,” EmmaBeckz told bargain hunters on the LatestDeals.co.uk site.

But you need to get in early.

“Just send a letter to the below address and make sure it has a stamp on it and make sure you send it by Friday 6th December to get a reply as they get VERY busy!”

To use the service, you need to get your little one to write a letter with their full name and address.

Drop the letter into an envelop with a stamp, and send to Santa’s ‘address’ provided by Royal Mail.

“Make sure you put a stamp on envelope that is sent and they will send the reply back for free and make sure you include the child’s full name and address so they know who to send it back to,” Emma added.

He’ll even reply in Welsh if you prefer – although you need to write to a different address for that.

These are the addresses you need.

For an English reply:

Santa/Father Christmas,
Santa’s Grotto,
Reindeerland,
XM4 5HQ

If you are writing in Welsh, send your stamped letter to:

Sion Corn,
Ogof Sion Corn,
Gwlad Y Ceirw,
XM4 5HQ
