Why a letter that knows their year
Children can tell a form letter from a real one. The letters they keep are the ones where Santa mentions the bike they finally rode, the new baby brother, or the day they were kind to someone at school. That one true detail is what makes it feel like Santa was paying attention.
What you get
- A letter from Santa, written for your child from the details you give.
- A Nice List certificate with their name.
- Both on a page you can print at home or save as a PDF.
- No mailing, no waiting for the post, and nothing to sign up for.
What to tell us
Just your child's first name (no last name) and two to four things from this year. Small things work best: a new skill, a kindness, something they were brave about, something they are proud of. We never promise presents in the letter, so you stay in charge of what Santa brings.
When and how to give it
- Leave it by the cookies on Christmas Eve, with a few crumbs on the plate.
- Tuck it into the tree, a stocking, or the front door letterbox.
- Some families give it on the first of December to start the season.
- Printing on cream or brown paper and folding it in thirds makes it look more like it travelled.
Short on time?
It is ready in a minute or two, so it works on Christmas Eve too. If you would like something free to print right now, we also have a free printable Christmas Eve letter.

Is anything mailed?
No. You print the letter at home or save it as a PDF, so it never gets lost in the post and can be ready the same night.
What do I need to give you?
Your child's first name and a few true things from their year. No photos and no last name.
Will the letter promise presents?
No. Santa's letter talks about your child's year and never promises specific presents, so there are no surprises on Christmas morning.
Can I make letters for siblings?
Yes. Each letter is written from the details you give for that child, so siblings get different letters. There is a 5-letter pack for families.
