Best Printable Letter To Santa Template (Cute & Free!)

It’s time for kids to write their letters to Santa in preparation for Christmas! Make the process a little easier for younger children (and even cuter – is that possible?) with this free Letter to Santa printable template that you can simply download and print!

This is the time of year when children everywhere write a letter to Santa asking for their dream presents. Has your kiddo created their Christmas wish list yet?

I always loved creating a simple letter for Santa with my boys because it was the perfect way for me to know what was really on their Christmas list. And sometimes, there were some pretty wacky things listed.

Like the year that my son wanted a dragon for Christmas… 🤦‍♀️

I’m pretty sure he meant a REAL dragon. He got a toy dragon instead. 😂

A Letter To Santa Printable Template Makes Letters To Santa SO Easy

There are some parenting things that took me a while to catch on to. Blank letter templates were one of those things.

I don’t know why it took me so long to think of doing this. The year I made a letter to Santa blank template, this activity became SO much easier!

Instead of trying to coach the kids on what to say, it became a fill-in-the-blank activity.

Later, I expanded it to more of a paragraph-style letter to Santa template and added a place to draw a picture for Santa. And, of course, this blank Santa letter template had to be a free download to make your life easier, too!

And just for fun, I added a wishlist page so that kids can brainstorm what they want. Or write down all 15 things and narrow it down to just one or two to send to Santa (bonus list for you!).

Of course, you can always make your own Letter to Santa on regular school-lined paper. And for older kids (10+), that may be the preferred method (or not).

I made some great Free Printable Letters to Santa to make the job of writing a letter easier. Simply print the sheets, hang a candy cane on the Christmas tree, and drink a cup of hot cocoa with your kiddo while they write their letter.

You’ll find an empty letter template that’s perfect for younger kids and older kids too. It’s easily adaptable to be a short activity or a longer activity.

This letter to Santa printable packet also includes a picture page so that your kiddo can draw a picture for Santa.

And finally, there’s a page for writing out their entire wishlist – this is great for narrowing down what they want to write to Santa and has the added benefit of giving you a bigger picture of what they want (for you or to send ideas to family like grandparents).

Once the free template letter to Santa is filled out, you can help your child mail it to the North Pole.

Another benefit to these printable letters to Santa is that if you save them, they act as a sweet keepsake that you can easily save (much like this School Year Time Capsule)!
