How It Works

We make it simple for you to help Santa create a one-of-a-kind letter that will light up your child's face. Our process is designed to be quick for parents but unforgettable for kids. Here’s how the magic happens in three easy steps:

  1. Fill Out a Quick Survey: You'll answer a few simple questions about your child. Think of it as giving Santa's elves the inside scoop on their wonderful year, from big achievements to their secret Christmas wishes.
  2. We Craft a Magical Message: Santa's expert letter-writers at the North Pole take all the details you provide and weave them into a warm, personal, and encouraging letter. Each one is carefully crafted to feel authentic and full of holiday cheer.
  3. Receive Your Digital Letter: Your custom Santa letter arrives in your inbox as a beautifully designed, print-ready PDF. It's ready for you to print at home and reveal whenever the moment is right, creating a memory you'll both cherish forever.

What We Personalize

The secret to a truly believable letter from Santa lies in the details. A generic note is nice, but a message filled with personal touches makes the magic feel real. Our simple survey lets you share the key information that proves Santa has been watching all year long.

  • Child's full name, age, and hometown
  • School name or grade level
  • Favorite hobbies, sports, or activities
  • Names of beloved pets
  • Best friend's name
  • A memorable gift from last year
  • Items from this year's wish list
  • Recent achievements to celebrate (e.g., learning to ride a bike)
  • Positive behavior goals to encourage (e.g., sharing with a sibling)
  • Special family traditions that make your holiday unique

The more specific you are, the more magical the letter becomes! Mentioning that their Golden Retriever, Rusty, loves to steal socks is the kind of tiny detail that creates a priceless "How did he know?!" moment. Want more inspiration? Check out our tips on how to write a perfect letter from Santa.
