US EditionKids mailing letters to Santa will get a response after brief pause: Canada Post
Canada Post resumes Santa letter replies after a year-long strike halted responses; over one million letters are handled annually, spokesman Phil Legault said.
- On Dec. 16, 2025, Canada Post announced millions who write to Santa Claus will get a response this year, and letters with the HOH OHO postal code mailed by Dec. 8 will be delivered.
- A month-long strike by more than 55,000 postal workers last year meant Old Saint Nick couldn't respond to letters, and Canada Post and the union representing its mail carriers announced last month agreements in principle after two years of contentious bargaining.
- On Monday, Legault said more than one million letters are delivered annually, and Santa responds to each, saying 'It is a busy time for our postal elves'.
- Canada Post employees note, "Our employees love seeing the letters addressed to Santa Claus pass through our postal system" and children were told Old Saint Nick read every letter despite last year's strike.
- Agreements in principle last month after prolonged talks cleared the way for replies to resume this holiday season, sustaining the Santa letters program handling more than one million letters annually.
