The magic of Christmas has officially arrived, with Australia Post once again welcoming children to hand-deliver their letters to Santa at participating Post Offices around the country.
From Monday 3 November through to Tuesday 24 December 2025, little believers can visit their local branch, give their letter directly to a friendly team member, and receive Santa’s reply on the spot — no stamps, no posting required.
Each child also takes home a festive surprise: a Pip the Koala Christmas ornament, perfect for hanging on the family tree.

How Santa Mail Works
It’s as easy as:
- Write your letter, wish list, or drawing
Santa loves it all — words, pictures, colours, and creativity. Kids are encouraged to express what’s on their wish list and share something they’re proud of this year. - Head to your local Post Office
Simply hand the letter over to a staff member — no return address, postage, or letterbox needed. - Receive the magic instantly
Children will be given a letter back from Santa right then and there, along with their special Pip the Koala keepsake.
If your child has already mailed their letter from home, they can still visit a Post Office to pick up Santa’s reply and their Pip ornament.

Australia Post is helping families keep this special tradition alive.
Josh Bannister, Executive General Manager of Retail, Brand and Marketing, said seeing children hand over their messages is a highlight of the festive season.
“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. We’re proud to help Santa spread a little magic across Australia once again,” he said.
New Christmas Stamp Collections
To add even more festive flair to the season, Australia Post has released two new Christmas stamp ranges.
The secular series features bold designs of Santa arriving at dusk, with Little Penguins in Santa hats stacking presents, while pelicans fly in with baubles to join the fun.
This set includes:
- 2 x 65c stamps — ‘Santa’ and ‘Presents’
- 1 x $3 international stamp
A separate religious stamp collection is also available.
