Although there are some online letter-to-Santa programs that cost money, others are free! And although you can send a free letter to Santa via USPS’ Operation Santa program, nothing quite beats putting a letter to Santa in a decorated Santa’s Mailbox.
At the following locations in greater Hartford, put your own already-written letter in Santa’s Mailbox at:
- Magic of Middletown, CT (an annual, multi-weekend event)
- Russell Library in Middletown
- Santa’s Workshop in Manchester (an annual, multi-day event)
- 2174 Main St, Glastonbury
- 224 Elm St, Glastonbury (which also has a wonderful Christmas light display!)
- Riverfront Community Center in Glastonbury (although only residents get responses)
- Pinwheel toy store in Glastonbury
- Holidays on Main in Old Wethersfield (the Santa’s Mailbox sponsored by Wethersfield Chamber of Commerce)
- Night of Lights in Newington (residents only get responses)
