Santa is now accepting mail from Aussie kids, with Australia Post opening its service to the North Pole.
Australia Post Executive General Manager Retail, Brand and Marketing Josh Bannister said children across Australia were invited to hand-deliver their Christmas wish lists at their local Post Office.
“Young Santa fans can drop off their letters in store and receive a special reply from the North Pole, plus a festive Pip the Koala Christmas ornament to take home and hang proudly on the tree,” Ms Bannister said.
She said families were encouraged to join in the much-loved tradition by helping little ones write a letter to Santa, seal it in an envelope, with no stamp or return address required, and deliver it to a participating Post Office.
“If your child has already posted their letter to Santa they can still drop by a Post Office to collect their reply and keepsake.”
Ms Bannister said the excitement of Santa Mail continued to delight Australians of all ages.
“Santa Mail is a treasured tradition for families and something our team looks forward to every year. Seeing children’s faces light up when they hand over their letters is what makes Christmas so magical.”
She said to make sure replies arrived before Santa took flight on Christmas Eve, here’s how it worked:
- Write your letter: Kids can tell Santa what’s on their wish list and share something they’re proud of this year.
- Drop it off: Head to your local Post Office and hand over the letter.
- Receive the magic: Each child will receive a reply from Santa along with a Pip the Koala ornament to keep as a special Christmas memento.
