Imagine how exciting it would be for your little ones to get a a real reply from Santa postmarked from the North Pole. We did this a few years ago, and my girls insisted on saving their letters.
It’s actually very easy to get a Santa letter with a real, North Pole postmark. First you need a letter written to your child and signed from Santa. You can create the letter yourself or download our free Letter From Santa Template. It is a Microsoft Word file so you can edit the text and personalize it.
Next you will need two envelopes — one that will fit inside of the other. Place the letter from Santa in the smaller envelope and seal. Address it to your child including your full address, and write a return address from “Santa Claus, North Pole.” Affix a first class stamp (be sure to use an actual stamp not a meter).
Put the smaller, addressed envelope inside the larger envelope and mail with enough postage to:
NORTH POLE POSTMARK
POSTMASTER
4141 POSTMARK DR
ANCHORAGE AK 99530-9998
Since things obviously get busy up at the North Pole, your letter must arrive in Fairbanks, AK, before December 10th. To be safe the post office recommends mailing by December 5th. Santa’s helpers will take care of the rest!

This is a great idea. I usually sit and write a letter to each one of my third grade students and sign and address it from Santa. The expression on their face says it all. Thanks for the templete.
Thanks

Sorry, Santa doesn´t live in the North Pole.
At one stage it was thought that Santa Claus/Father Christmas lives in the North Pole. In 1925 it was discovered that there are no reindeer in the North Pole but there are lots of them in Lapland, in the northernmost part of Finland.So today we know that Santa Claus lives in Lapland’s Korvatunturi which in Finnish means ”Ear Fell”.
jorge- i live in north pole across the street from santas house and he does have reindeer! mr debbie downer lol
I laughed SOOOO hard after reading this lol
This is so incredible! My daughter is 3 &1/2 this year and Christmas is truly magical this year for us. I wrote the letter, put some personal additions in it (what we are proud of and what may need a little work over the next year) and put some glitter in it as well. I think this idea is really great and can only be an addition to the magic that the season seems to already possess. Thank you for this- I hope to keep the magic as long as possible!
My kids will be thrilled when they receive a letter back from Santa! Thanks so much for the letter template and directions! I have a Piper also, not often I see her name in print anywhere
P.S. I grew up in Alaska and live in Anchorage now. I have been to North Pole and to Santa Claus’ house
and he really does have reindeer! I’m sure you could find the video on YouTube of one attacking a local reporter 
Thanks again, Merry Christmas!
Love this…just wished i had found it in time for my lil one shes 8 but will keep for next year @ we both love Santa …..Merry Christmas….
I checked the USPS site last night and it states letters should be postmarked by the 10th, so I think there’s still time. I’m mailing ours today.
CRAP! I’m two days late! I’m going to try it anyway and see what happens.
Darn!!! Wishing I would have found this sooner!!! I may do it anyway.
