Letters to the Christkind in Himmelstadt can be sent starting from December 2. And for those in Engelskirchen, you can start sending your letters to the Christkind from December 5.

What's more, adults can also send their Christmas post to friends and family at certain post offices in Munich. And for those writing to Santa Claus or the Christkind in Munich, you can expect a response.

It's important to note that to ensure the response arrives in time for Christmas, letters to Santa Claus or the Christkind should be sent about four days before the holiday.
