Most kids have the annual holiday tradition of writing letters to Santa with their Christmas wish lists, but some kids actually get letters from Santa, too!
Whether it’s a gentle reminder from the jolly guy for your child to share toys with his little brother, or you just want to write a simple mid-year letter to check in, letters from the North Pole on official Santa letterhead are a perfect way to keep the Santa magic alive!

After all, as your kids get older it’s more difficult to convince them that a man in a red suit climbs down your chimney every December 24th. Or more importantly that Santa’s allowed to eat a plateful of cookies at every house in the world and your child only gets one after dinner!
Whether your little ones are on the brink of figuring out the truth about Santa or they’re still fully invested in the magic, a personalized letter from Santa can reinforce the joy and wonder that make the holiday season so special.
And the best part? It’s easier than you think. With free printable Santa letterhead, you can craft these letters with minimal effort, and they’ll look like they came straight from the North Pole.
How to Use the Free Santa Letterhead to Create Christmas Magic
1. Write a personalized letter from Santa.
The most obvious way to use the free printable Santa letterhead is to write a personalized letter from Santa Claus to each of your children.
You can print the letterhead on card stock or regular copy paper and then feed it through your printer to create a typed letter from Santa, or you can hand write the note. Just try to mention something specific in the letter to make it seem like Santa is really paying attention – like how your child helped to set the table or completed their chore chart for the week. These special details that are specific to them will make the letters even more magical!
Then, you can place the Santa letters under the Christmas tree or in your kids’ stockings for them to find on Christmas morning.
2. Write a thank you note on the Santa letterhead.
Show your kids that even Santa Claus uses his best manners, and write an after-Christmas thank you note on the “From the Desk of Santa Claus” letterhead. Santa can thank your kids for leaving out milk and cookies, or for sprinkling Magic Reindeer Food on the lawn to help guide Rudolph on Christmas Eve.
3. Use the free Santa letterhead printables for a mid-year check in.
My kids are guilty of only picking up the slack around the house every year on December 1st, in preparation to make it on the “Nice List”. But when they open the mailbox on a hot summer day and find a letter from Santa Claus reminding them to be good, suddenly their rooms are clean and the trash is taken out.
4. Leave Christmas Eve instructions from Santa.
This is a fun holiday tradition to start with your kids: On Christmas Eve, leave a letter from Santa with special instructions for the night, like a reminder to go to bed early so Santa can deliver presents, or maybe instructions to leave out a special treat for Rudolph. This can add a bit of extra magic to the night before Christmas.
You could even leave their Santa letter in their Christmas Eve box!
5. Use the free printable Santa letterhead templates for your Elf on the Shelf deliveries.
Who better to deliver a letter from Santa Claus than his mischievous little helper the Elf?! Many families have the iconic Elf on the Shelf visit their kids every December… and most busy Moms are frantically trying to come up with fun ideas for their elves. Why not use this free printable Santa letterhead to have your Elf deliver notes from Santa Claus?!

Tips for Creating Your Letters from the North Pole
This free Santa stationary is already a great way to get your kids hyped for the Christmas season, but here are a few other ideas for using the simple template:
- Sign the letter in red ink. Use a different color pen (preferably in Christmas red or green) for Santa’s signature to make it look more authentic.
- Add glitter or stickers to make the printable papers look more magical. Spray on glitter is perfect for adding a touch of Christmas sparkle! Or you can sprinkle glitter inside the North Pole envelopes!
- Add a North Pole return address or a special stamp. Including an official North Pole postmark or a special Christmas stamp on the envelope can make these Santa templates extra special!
- Print the letterhead on parchment card stock. Parchment card stock is the type of paper that is used for official certificates, and it looks old world and vintage – perfect for your Santa stationary!
