Overview
- Letter adoption is live at USPSOperationSanta.com as of Nov. 17, with account creation and identity verification required.
- A team feature lets groups adopt an entire household’s letters so all family wishes are fulfilled in coordination.
- Santa’s Gift Shoppe, sponsored by Toys"R"Us, offers a larger online catalog with direct-to-recipient shipping and free shipping on orders over $49.
- USPS urges wider participation because the program receives more letters than it can match with adopters each year, according to marketing vice president Sheila Holman.
- To be posted on the platform, mail letters to Santa Claus, 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888 with full name and return address by Dec. 6; adopters should ship gifts by Dec. 13.
