Santa's Mail Box

Now Digital for 2025!

With the rising cost of posting letters, it’s become expensive for the Trust to send mail to the North Pole. By moving online, we can make sure every child still gets a magical reply – completely free – while keeping this much-loved tradition alive for our community. By going digital, we save on printing and postage so we can put more funds back into free community Christmas events for everyone to enjoy.

How It Works
1. Fill Out Santa’s Online Form (coming soon)
Tell Santa your name, age, and what’s on your Christmas wish list.

2. Watch Your Inbox
You’ll get a personalised letter from Santa, a Nice List certificate, and a special video from Jingles the Elf – straight to your email.

3. Share the Magic
Print your letter and certificate to keep, or share them with friends and whānau.

Look Out for Santa’s Mailboxes
Our traditional red Santa Mailboxes are still dotted around the community – in libraries, community centres, and other familiar spots.
This year, you’ll notice something new: QR codes on each box.
Simply scan the code to jump straight to Santa’s online form.

  • Please note: Santa will not be replying to physical letters this year. All letters need to be sent through the online form to receive a reply.
