Personalized letter from Santa
A letter from Santa is a short, warm note from the North Pole that parents print and leave for their child to find. Type your child's name, age, a few good things they did this year and what they're hoping for, and the maker writes Santa's letter on painted North Pole stationery, signed by Santa. You also get a letter to Santa for your child to fill in and an official Nice List certificate for 2026. Free, no account.

What Santa writes
Santa's letter is written from what you type in. He mentions your child's age, lists the good things the elves noted down, says he has heard what they're hoping for (without promising it) and sends a hug to a brother or sister, or a pat to the dog. Leave any of it empty and he writes something warm in its place, like a reminder to send him their wish list.
No two letters are quite the same: the greeting, the closing line and the P.S. change from child to child, so siblings each get their own letter.
Make it feel like it came from the North Pole
Print on thicker paper if you have it, fold the letter in three and seal it in an envelope addressed to your child. Leave it where they'll find it: under the tree, on the mantel, next to the cookie plate on Christmas morning or with an Elf on the Shelf.
The letter to Santa is for your child to write before that: their wishes, something kind they did and what they'll leave out for the reindeer. The Nice List certificate is the one to frame or stick on the fridge.
