JUMP TO…
Writing a letter to Santa is such a fun holiday tradition, and one that my kids look forward to every year. Thankfully, this printable template makes it really easy (and fun) to do—including for younger kids who are still learning to write.
Grab the printable below and have your child write their name, age and Christmas wish list so you can mail it off to the North Pole!
Why You’ll Love This Printable
- Easy to download: This printable is 100% free, and the download link is available right in the article—no need to enter your email address or track down a resource library password.
- Good for multiple age groups: Because the template is mostly pre-written and requires children to simply fill in the blanks, it is appropriate both for older elementary school children who already know how to write and for younger children in preschool, kindergarten or 1st grade kids who are still learning.
- Adorable design: The letter features a cute, colorful design that your kids will love! (Mine certainly do, and they ask me to print out this template every year.)
- Quick and easy to use: Short on time or inspiration? Instead of trying to figure out what to write, simply check the box and fill in the blanks to create a personalized letter to mail out to Santa Claus.

Printing Instructions
Once you have downloaded the PDF to your computer, simply print it on regular Letter-sized (8.5 x 11 inches) printer paper and let your child fill in all the information so you can mail it to the North Pole.
While this file was designed to be printed in US Letter format, you can always print it on A4 paper by adjusting the “Scale to Fit” setting—but be prepared to cut off the white borders all around the template, as they won’t all be the same size.
Not a fan of the white border?
Because most home printers aren’t capable of full-page printing, unless you take this file to a professional print shop, you will notice a white border around the edges after you print the template at home.
We didn’t mind much, but if it bothers you, you can use a pair of scissors to cut off the white border so that the colorful stripes reach all the way to the edge of the paper.

How to Use This Template
Once you have printed the stationery, have your child fill out all the blank fields by writing their name, age, Christmas wish list and signature.
They will also need to check off one of the boxes to indicate whether they’ve been naughty, nice or a bit of both this year—which is a great opportunity to discuss their recent behaviors in a meaningful way.
When your child is done writing their letter to Santa, place it in an envelope and mail it to the North Pole!
Where & When to Mail Your Letter
The exact process for mailing out your letter, including the address you should use and the deadline to mail the letter if you wish to receive a response from Santa, will depend on where you live.
Here is where you can find that information for a few different English-speaking countries:
- For US residents: USPS Operation Santa
- For Canadian residents: Canada Post Santa Letter Program
- For UK residents: Royal Mail Letters to Santa
- For Australian residents: Australia Post Santa Mail
If you live in a country that isn’t listed above, you can look up “how to send a letter to santa + [your country name]” on Google or any other search engine to see if your country has a similar program.
