where to send a letter to Santa
Two official programs take letters from children, checked on their own pages on November 10, 2026: Papai Noel dos Correios in Brazil and USPS Operation Santa in the United States. Here are only the confirmed facts, with the year of each requirement.
A stamp on the envelope and a full return address on the letter or the envelope.
It applies to the postmark, not to arrival. It changes every year.
Adopting requires living in the continental U.S., Hawaii or Puerto Rico.
No address, phone number or photo of the child in the image.
Paraná runs from November 9 to December 5. Each state has its own table.
Pick Letter to Santa, then fill in your child's name, age, city, how the year went, up to 5 wishes, a thank-you and a promise, and print it in one of four designs. Anything left blank prints as a line for the child to finish by hand, and there is also a plain lined sheet to write everything from scratch.
The campaign page gives no postal address for the letters: submission is online, through the Cadastrar carta form, with a photo of the letter. The rules are for 2026 and the dates change by state, so check the table on the official page before acting.
No. Per the 2026 official page, the letters come from children in social vulnerability up to 10, from children with disabilities of any age and from public school pupils nominated by education departments, one letter per child, with screening before publication.
People who live in the continental U.S., Hawaii or Puerto Rico, create an account and get verified. Each person adopts no more than 20 letters, and shipping is limited to six packages via Ground Advantage and six via Priority Mail per adoption, according to the official site in 2026.
You can: download the PNG and send the image, which comes out as the whole sheet. That is just a keepsake for family, unrelated to the official programs, which have their own channels and privacy rules described above.
In the print dialog, turn off Headers and footers and keep the scale at 100%.
Nothing leaves your browser: the child's name and the letter are built on this device and are not sent or stored.
