About us

At Classic Santa, there's one thing you should know about us before anything else - we really, really love Christmas.

We're children at heart; the kind who still get a flutter of excitement at the first whiff of gingerbread or the sound of wrapping paper on Christmas Eve (because, frankly, all our wrapping happens on Christmas Eve!) We revel in the wonder of it all - especially when we see the little people in our families light up with excitement at this magical time of year.

And that's exactly why we do what we do.

Where It All Began

The idea for Classic Santa had been bubbling away for nearly a decade - whispered about over mugs of hot chocolate and half-eaten mince pies - until, in 2009, we finally gave in to our festive instincts and brought it to life.

We set out to create something truly special: authentic, beautiful and full of Christmas magic. A letter that didn't just look like it came from Father Christmas - but felt like it did.

What Makes Us Different

Every letter is lovingly handcrafted in-house, by us, from start to finish - letterpress printed and foil-stamped using traditional techniques, just as we imagine Father Christmas would do it himself.

Each one is printed, foiled, sealed and checked by our tiny team (with a little help from Chief Elf Twinkle). From the shimmer of the foil to the swirl of the wax seal, every detail is designed to make each letter feel as magical as the season itself.

We've spent years honing our craft, combining timeless printmaking methods with a touch of North Pole magic - corny as it sounds, we believe that the old ways make the most enchanting results.

We know the joy a little red envelope can bring on a frosty December morning - and we pour that joy into everything we make.

Keeping the Magic Alive

Our goal is simple: to keep the magic of Christmas alive - for children and grown-ups alike.

So whether you're five or fifty, if your heart still skips a beat when you hear sleigh bells jingling… you're one of us.

Happy Christmas!

Andrew, Chief Elf Twinkle & all the North Pole Team
