12 Days of Letters from Elves - personalised magical letters from the North Pole

New for 2026. Enjoyed by families for a decade, this is our tenth edition of the best-selling letters from elves.

All the magic of daily letters from elves at the North Pole - in a countdown that’s just the right size. Our half set of Elf Letters delivers 12 personalised letter, ready to read in the run up to Christmas, spread throughout December at your own pace.

Telling a complete North Pole story with your child or children's name, town and personal details woven through every chapter. Read these at any time during December, ensuring your last letter, day 12, is read on Christmas Eve.

Written by Pip McJingles or signed from your own elf, the twelve letters follow a full adventure from first flurry to Christmas Eve finale - mischief, mishaps and workshop stories included. It’s the same beloved letter-writing magic as our 24-day set, told at a slower pace.

Who the 12-day letter set is perfect for

•      Younger children - twelve days is a countdown little ones can hold in their heads, and the excitement builds beautifully as Christmas gets close.

•      Busy Decembers - if a daily letter from the 1st feels like a big commitment, twelve days gives you the tradition without the daily story.

•      First-timers - a lovely way to start the tradition. (Warning: most families are back for the full 24 the following year.)

•      Late starters - December has a habit of running away with everyone. The 12-day set means the magic can still begin mid-month.

What’s included

•      12 personalised elf letters - one a day for any 12 days before Christmas, each with your child’s name and other personalised details in the story. Ensure you read the last letter on Christmas Eve.

•      Traditional North Pole charm - snow, sleigh bells and workshop magic, with plenty of magic, mischief and memories thrown in!

How it works

Order with your child’s name and your set of twelve personalised letters arrives ready for the countdown. Start no later than the 13th of December and read one each day - at breakfast, at bedtime or delivered by your resident Christmas elf - and the final letter should be read on Christmas Eve, just as the sleigh takes off.

Printed on 120gsm quality paper, the 12 fold-out elf letters are in full colour, beautifully illustrated and measure 148mm x 315mm. The paper used is FSC certified and the production of the letters is carbon balanced.
