Santa looking through letters

Santa Claus calls all the shots on Christmas. “He knows if you've been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake,” right? And writing letters to Santa is such a big part of keeping in touch with Jolly Ole St. Nick, making sure he knows what to send you if you’re on the Nice List. But what if he could send letters to you? Receiving a letter from Santa would blow any kid’s mind, and this Christmas you can this a reality.

Handwrytten, a company that sends handwritten letters (written by robots and powered by AI) that are “as easy as sending an email,” launched HandwryttenbySanta.com which sends up to two letters with a custom message of your choice for you. They only have 6,000 Santa letters to send out, so once that limit is reached, you can buy more for a “small fee,” they said in a statement to Parade.

So how do you get your hands on a letter from Santa? Read on to find out.

Handwrytten Is Sending Out Letters From Santa

Handwrytten was founded in 2014 and has sent over 7 million notes and letters with 175 robots at their disposal. And this year, just like Santa’s elves help him make all of his toys, these robots are helping him write all of these letters to kids everywhere.

“Busy managing the elves, tending to the reindeer and doing final sleigh checks for his big journey, Santa is trusting the Handwrytten robots to help him respond to some of the letters he receives each holiday season,” the company said. “Brought to you in partnership by Handwrytten and Pilot Pen, Santa’s robots are standing at the ready to spread holiday cheer.”

All letters from Santa (through Handwrytten) look fully handwritten (including the envelope with Santa’s address) and come with a gold North Pole seal, a “sprinkle of snow” and a peppermint smell infused in the letter.

And don’t worry about an incorrect return address. Handwrytten by Santa Claus uses the same North Pole address for Mr. Claus as Operation Santa (by the USPS): 123 Elf Road, North Pole 88888.
