Kids can get a free letter from Santa in the post this year - here's how

The Christmas songs are on the radio, festive movies are playing on TV, the weather is getting colder every day and Saint Nick is coming to visit.

This means that the kids are (hopefully) on their best behaviour to avoid being put on the naughty list and you can make their dreams come true with a letter from Santa himelf.

Royal Mail is letting youngsters send their letters or cards directly to Santa this year, with the chance of receiving a letter back from the North Pole.

However, Christmas is a hectic time for Santa and his army of elves, so a reply can’t be guaranteed. Royal Mail advises people to post early and include a full name and address.

How to send a letter to Santa?

To send a letter, make sure to address it to:

Santa/Father Christmas

Santa’s Grotto

Reindeerland

XM45HQ

Don’t forget to include your child’s full name and address for a reply.

Then simply stick a stamp on the letter or card and post it by Friday December 6.
