People who are looking to give their little ones a magical reminder of who is watching ahead of Christmas can take advantage of this free Moonpig offer. It comes as people may have missed out on another free service that runs across the UK.
Royal Mail has run its free Letters to Santa service again this year, allowing kids to write to the Christmas icon and receive a personalised reply. However, for anyone who may have left it a little late, the deadline for this has now passed. The last date for letters being received by the postal service was Wednesday, December 10. If people still want to offer their kids a magical surprise in the lead-up to Christmas. Moonpig has stepped forward with a limited-time offer that will not cost people a penny.
Moonpig bosses claimed that they have stepped in to help as many kids get a personal note from Santa this Christmas, with free standard-sized letters available to order online. It gives parents and carers who missed out on the free Royal Mail offer to take advantage without spending any extra cash this Christmas.
There are seven different style letters to choose from in this free offer(Image: Moonpig)
Messages in the Moonpig cards come pre-written, with shoppers only needing to add basic details like the child’s name. Some also have options to include personalised photos too.
A spokesperson for Moonpig said: “To make the notes even more personal, Moonpig have a range of stickers and totally customisable copy to make sure every child feels extra special. Whether they receive the note on Christmas Day, or as a special reminder to be extra-good on the weeks prior to Santa’s big working night on Christmas Eve.”
People have until Friday, December 19, to order a letter directly from the North Pole at absolutely no cost. Moonpig also offers a range of festive extras that can be delivered alongside the letter from Santa, including balloons, cuddly toys, games and more.

If people still need to buy Christmas cards, Moonpig also has an offer available for half price with the discount code 50OFF5 . The deal only applies to people ordering five cards or more at once. People can get personalised cards in time for Christmas at several other online retailers, such as Funky Pigeon or Snapfish.
Moonpig also has a fun range of Christmas cards made in partnership with Greggs. Digital e-cards can be sent for as little as 99p, whilst physical cards can be purchased starting from £3.99, with larger options on offer, including an A4-sized card for £6.99 and an almost A3-sized giant card for £9.99.
The collection – called the Ultimate Secret Santa Surprise – features a £3.95 card with heat-activated ink that, when warmed up, reveals a code to claim a free sausage roll or vegan sausage roll from one of the 2,675 Greggs’ locations across the UK. The cards offer the option to customise some of the designs, such as incorporating a loved one’s face into a sausage roll.
