Send handwritten letters and pictures to Santa

Send the letter to Santa Claus, c/o Santa’s Workshop, North Pole 0001.
Make sure the child’s name and address is written clearly on the back of the envelope, so Santa knows where to send a reply.
Post the letter in a post box or at a NZ Post retail outlet. Write your letter by 26th November to receive a postcard from Santa. Include an email address, just incase you miss the cut-off for a postcard reply.

Using the online Santa form to get a reply

Visit Write to Santa | NZ Post to create a special Christmas letter for Santa online. You can use the same email address for up to 6 children.

Children might need a little help filling in their details so that Santa can ensure their reply gets delivered to the right place.

From 27th November to 23rd December Santa will reply to you by email.

How to request a reply from Santa in Te Reo Māori

You can request a reply from Santa in Te Reo Māori when writing to Santa using the website. Simply select Te Reo Māori in the dropdown box when you see the Language option.
