Register for Personal Elf Emails

Part of the magic of Christmas is sending letters to Santa Claus. But imagine if he emailed you back? Now you can keep Santa updated with your children's details and they will receive a personalised email relating to them and encouraging them to be on the Nice List. 

Register here for your Personal Elf Emails, available at the end of September. All you need to share is a few details - your child’s first name, their best friend or pet’s name, favourite toy and who is in charge of your Elf toy. Santa will write to your children throughout December! How much fun is that!? (We won't share your data with anyone. It's top secret and you can trust us.)
