Letters to Santa

Issued on Tuesday 11th November 2025 ‘Letters to Santa’ celebrates the magic of writing a letter to Santa at Christmas. Illustrated by Richard Wake the stamps have a storybook quality to them, this has been purposefully done to ensure the stamps capture the warmth and joy of Christmas during childhood.

Writing and receiving a letter from Santa at Christmas is one of the season’s most magical traditions. In Jersey, the Post Office ensures that children who send their letters to Santa receive a letter back from him thanking them for their wonderful wishes.

Each stamp demonstrates the various stages of writing and receiving a letter at Christmas. The final stamp in the issue includes ‘Christmas Day’ to celebrate the joy of sharing and spending times with those you love.

This issue also coincides with Jersey Post’s writing campaign – once upon a letter, which encourages islanders, especially children to write a letter to a loved one or pen pal and ensure that the special feeling that comes from writing or receiving a letter continues onto the next generation.
