Looking for free Christmas videos for kids? Welcome to North Pole TV, a new collection of short festive films from Santa Letter Direct. Meet Father Christmas and his North Pole friends, enjoy playful Christmas stories and follow the magic of writing and sending a letter to Santa — all free to watch.
North Pole TV launches with 11 free short Christmas videos, including a five-part mini-series, seasonal shorts and special messages about the journey of a letter to Father Christmas. And this is only the beginning: we'll be adding more stories, magical messages and little seasonal surprises throughout the Christmas season.

What Is North Pole TV?
North Pole TV is Santa Letter Direct's home for bite-sized Christmas entertainment. Rather than asking families to sit through a full-length film, it offers quick visits to the North Pole: a funny mishap in Santa's workshop, a festive countdown or a reassuring message about Christmas post.
We created it for three reasons: to bring moments of the Santa-letter journey to life, to tell short stories with recurring North Pole characters, and to share little seasonal check-ins throughout the year. The videos are presented in a mobile-friendly portrait format, making them easy to enjoy together whenever a little Christmas magic is needed.
Magical Messages: Follow Your Letter to Santa
For a child, the excitement of Christmas post doesn't begin or end with a letter arriving through the door. There is the moment they write their wishes, the anticipation as the letter travels north, and the wonderful thought of Father Christmas receiving it. Our Magical Messages help families imagine those moments.
Your Dear Santa Pack Is on Its Way!
See Father Christmas and Amelia Elf in the North Pole Packing Room as a Dear Santa writing pack gets ready for its journey. Watch this Magical Message (0:09).

A Letter Arrives at the North Pole
Imagine the special moment when a Christmas letter reaches the North Pole. Watch this Magical Message (0:20).
These films are little pieces of storytelling, not a postal tracking service or confirmation that a particular child's letter has physically arrived. They're a way to make the anticipation feel even more magical.
Meet Santa in Our Five-Part Christmas Mini-Series
What happens when Christmas post piles up, presents need wrapping and things don't quite go to plan? Our five-part North Pole mini-series follows the lighter side of life in Santa's workshop. Each episode is under a minute, so families can enjoy one at a time or watch all five together.
Episode 1: Letter Avalanche
Christmas letters are piling up at the North Pole, and Santa soon finds himself surrounded by a magnificent mountain of post. Watch the first episode of our five-part festive mini-series to see how the busy Christmas workshop copes when the season’s mail arrives all at once. Watch episode 1 (0:19).
Episode 2: That's a Wrap
Santa’s workshop is filled with presents, paper and festive excitement as Christmas draws closer. In episode two of the North Pole mini-series, the wrapping continues at full speed while one important question remains: will Santa and the elves have every gift ready in time? Watch episode 2 (0:30).
Episode 3: Rogue Letter
One mischievous Christmas letter has escaped from the North Pole post, and Santa is determined to keep it in sight. Follow the commotion in episode three of the festive mini-series as the rogue letter turns an ordinary moment in Santa’s workshop into a playful Christmas chase. Watch episode 3 (0:30).
Episode 4: Mum Forgets
Mum is carefully working through the family Christmas list, but something very important may have slipped her mind. Episode four of the North Pole mini-series captures a familiar festive moment and offers families a gentle, playful reminder to make sure their Christmas letter reaches Father Christmas. Watch episode 4 (0:29).
Episode 5: Lettuce Not Letters
A North Pole mix-up between lettuce and letters gives Santa and his reindeer an unexpected little adventure. In the fifth and final episode of the festive mini-series, things do not go quite to plan, bringing the Christmas story to a playful conclusion with a distinctly reindeer-sized misunderstanding. Watch episode 5 (0:30).
North Pole Shorts: Little Seasonal Check-ins
Christmas excitement doesn't always wait until December. Our North Pole Shorts are quick, playful messages for moments in the seasonal calendar — from the countdown to Christmas to Halloween and the clocks changing.
Two Months Until Christmas!

Santa Changes the Clocks!
The clocks are going back, giving Father Christmas one precious extra hour at the North Pole. Santa knows exactly how he would like to spend it. Settle in for a cosy North Pole Short that finds a delightfully simple use for a little more time before the Christmas rush. Watch this short (0:15).
