Every year, millions of letters are sent to Santa Claus from around the world. In many countries, they are addressed to the North Pole.
Here in Finland, we know they should be heading somewhere else: Santa Claus Main Post Office is located on the Arctic Circle in Rovaniemi.
This Christmas, the letters are being redirected to the right address
Posti’s international North Pole Redirect campaign is helping letters to Santa from around the world find their way to Finland.
Posti’s familiar orange letterboxes are appearing in London, New York and Toronto in the run-up to Christmas. Letters dropped into them will continue their journey with Posti to the Arctic Circle, straight to Santa Claus Main Post Office.
At the same time, the campaign aims to help more people around the world discover Santa’s real address.
Santa Claus Main Post Office is a real post office
Santa Claus Main Post Office is an official Posti location on the Arctic Circle, open all year round. It receives around 500,000 letters from across the globe every year. Over the years, more than 25 million letters have arrived from over 200 countries.
And this Christmas, some of the letters that were heading for the North Pole will find their way to where they were meant to go all along.
