Beginning Nov. 23 through Dec. 14, children who would like to receive a personalized letter from Santa this holiday season may submit their requests in writing to the Atlantic County Park in Estell Manor. Staff will be working closely with Santa and his elves to make sure all letters from Santa are delivered before Christmas.

“We are pleased to continue this beloved tradition that was temporarily paused during COVID. Our staff enjoys helping Santa as much as he enjoys hearing from all the children who believe in the magic of Christmas,” Atlantic County Executive Dennis Levinson said.

Requests from Santa believers should include their first and last name, complete mailing address, gender, grade in school, names of any siblings and/or pets, a gift they would like to receive from Santa and one they will definitely be receiving, a big accomplishment or achievement (honor roll, learned to ride a bike, etc.), as well as the name of their parent or guardian and their contact number or email.

Requests may be dropped off at the “Mailbox to the North Pole” located at the Nature Center in the Atlantic County Park or sent by mail to 109 Route 50 South, Mays Landing, NJ 08330. Requests for letters from Santa may also be sent by email to: pleis_kathleen@aclink.org.

All requests must be received no later than Dec. 14. For more information, please call 609-625-1897.
