Free personalized letter from an elf
Give us your child’s first name, a few good things they did this year and, if your family has one, your elf’s name. One of Santa’s elves writes a cheerful, one-of-a-kind letter in about 15 seconds: an arrival letter, a December check-in or a goodbye on Christmas Eve. It’s free to read, copy and print.
A real sample: Juniper the Elf writes to Mia
Written by the AI from a short form about Mia (5, Denver): she helped bake cookies for the neighbors, learned to write her name and has a puppy called Waffles. Elf: Juniper; occasion: just arrived.
Three kinds of elf letters
- Arrival letter. The elf has just flown in from the North Pole, says hello, and promises to tell Santa about the good things they see. Leave it next to the elf on the first morning.
- December check-in. Workshop news, a compliment for something your child did this week, and a funny P.S. Good for the middle of a long December.
- Goodbye on Christmas Eve. The elf flies home with Santa tonight and says thank you. It softens the goodbye, especially for younger kids.
Make it feel like it came from the elf
- Use your elf’s real name. Type it in the form and the elf signs the letter with it.
- Give one fresh detail. Something from this week (“shared the sled”, “helped set the table”) shows the elf was really there.
- Stage the delivery. Roll the letter up with a ribbon, add a candy cane or a sprinkle of “snow”, and leave it where the elf sits in the morning.
- Print it on the elf paper. The illustrated elf workshop paper with bright borders and big friendly letters is made for younger kids.

Questions
Is the letter from an elf free?
Yes. The whole personalized letter is free to read, copy and print as plain text. The printable pack (the letter on designed paper, a Nice List certificate, an envelope from the elf and an illustrated postcard) is optional.
Can the letter use our elf’s name?
Yes. Type your elf’s name in the form and the letter is written and signed by that elf. Leave it empty and one of Santa’s elves picks a name.
Does it work with any elf doll or toy?
Yes. The letter comes from “one of Santa’s elves” and uses whatever name you give, so it fits any elf your family has, or none at all.
Will the elf promise a present?
No. The elf says the wish is on the workshop list or that they will tell Santa, so nothing is promised that might not be under the tree.
Is it safe to enter my child’s details?
Use the first name only. Details are used just to write this letter, are never shown publicly and are deleted after 3 days unless you unlock the pack (then after 30 days).
