December 4 is Gift Orders and Writing Letters to Father Frost Day

Every year on December 4, Russia celebrates an unusual holiday – Gift Orders and Writing Letters to Father Frost Day. On this day, those who believe in miracles and eagerly await the New Year can write a wish list and send it directly to Father Frost.

Typically, on this day, post offices start accepting New Year’s letters addressed to Father Frost. Special postal facilities also open for sending letters with wishes and requests. Often, the field "Recipient" is filled with "To Father Frost Personally," written in a child’s handwriting. But that’s no problem—post offices know exactly where to send the letters, ensuring they reach their magical destination.

Father Frost, who resides in Veliky Ustyug, receives more than a million physical and digital letters annually from children across Russia and the CIS countries. By December 1, 2023, he had already received around 6 million letters.

It’s not only children who write to the country's main magical figure; adults who sincerely believe in the New Year’s magic also do so. The first letters arrive as early as November—some people just can’t wait until the official Gift Orders Day.

Anyone can write to Father Frost. Here is the address of the main wizard’s residence:

162390, Russia
Vologda Oblast
