What to put in a letter to Santa
Begin with a first name or nickname. Tell Santa about something fun from the year, a hobby or a kind thing someone did. Add a wish list if they would like, then finish with a Christmas greeting.
You might start: “Dear Santa, my name is Pip. This year I enjoyed drawing animals. For Christmas I would love a storybook. Thank you and Merry Christmas!” Pip is a fictional example, and a wish list is not a promise that gifts will arrive.
A grown-up can help without taking over
Let the child choose the words; a parent can type or help with spelling. Typing is always available. Optional speech features depend on device support, parent consent and any account requirements shown in the tool.
Leave out home addresses, schools, phone numbers and other people’s names. This is a private family activity, not a public profile or open chat with other children.
Print the free letter, or choose a paid reply
Your own written letter is free to print or save through your browser’s print screen. On a phone, choose the print or sharing options your device provides. Browser-saved copies are different from the designed PDF included with a paid Santa reply.
The letter is not physically posted to the North Pole. If you would like a personalised reply, preview its opening free, then choose whether to pay £1 for the full reply, designed PDF and parent email. No subscription is added.
Santa letters: a parent's guide
Is this letter-to-Santa template really free?
Yes. Writing your own letter to Santa and printing or saving it through your browser is free. A personalised reply from Santa is optional and costs £1; its opening preview is free.
Does my child need an email address?
No. A grown-up guides the activity. If you choose a paid reply, Stripe collects the adult’s email for the purchased letter; we do not need a child’s email address.
Will Santa receive a posted letter?
The tool creates a digital keepsake for your family. It does not post a physical letter, provide a postal address or promise that wish-list gifts will arrive.
