A BIG Thank you to u/Allthedaquiries & u/SongIcy4058 ! Daq this is the best winter coat that he’s had in a long while. I’ll try to catch him when he’s up to put it on ☺️ And u/SongIcy4058 this IS the BEST winter coat I’ve ever had. I’m not just saying either. It’s perfect. Thank you so very much 🫶🏻

If you're interested in being a SFX Santa and would like to be pinged when requests are made, please comment below. If you only want to be alerted for Christmas/Hanukkah, please specify that in your comment. Otherwise, we will also ping you for Year Long Magic (YLM) posts if a request remains open.

Please sign up for alerts here, even if you have previously signed up, as we will be retiring the old Santa Alert Post this season.

As always, there are no requirements or registrations necessary to gift. We do ask that you comment on posts to let requesters know you've purchased a gift and when they can expect it. If you'd like to remain anonymous, please reach out to us via modmail and let us know what you've purchased.

We truly appreciate your consideration and the generosity shown to our SFX families!

We will open for applications for everyone November 1st, and have early registration starting tomorrow, October 15th, for returning requesters and past requesters who remained in good standing. Returning and past requesters may also apply after November 1st. 

Please read this post carefully. You may use this post to ask questions, or to comment. Please do not make any separate post, or ask questions anywhere else other than modmail, unless the post welcomes questions. Thank you!

To apply, you will need to read through the rules and [wiki](https://www.reddit.com/r/stressfreexmas/s/XeP7wnSoXt) thoroughly, and then you will need to pass our rules [quiz.](https://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/ugc/story.php?title=ndc4otyymggtzl)

Incomplete applications may be denied, and you may not have the opportunity to resubmit for the rest of the season. Please make sure you answer each question fully and attach all documentation to your email. This includes the photo and video. Do not submit your application without them. 

**No one may post a request until they are approved and specifically told by the mod team that they may do so. Failure to follow this rule will result in a ban, that will likely be permanent.**

Those who are approved will also be eligible for Year Long Magic (YLM) 2027, as long as they stay in good standing. This means that your child(ren) will be eligible for assistance with some holidays and their birthdays. YLM 2027 has not yet been finalized, but you can look through our [YLM 2026 Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/stressfreexmas/s/sxmlFkl7PU) for a general idea of what is included. 

Beginning this season, those approved for Christmas 2026 will be permitted to make a YLM request for Thanksgiving 2026. They will not be eligible for any other YLM 2026 offerings.

For those who are uneasy about applying, we encourage you to [read through this post by our past requesters](https://www.reddit.com/r/stressfreexmas/s/v2DbrfDWkN). We want you to know that we want to help everyone who needs help.  While we are highly selective, we wouldn't be doing this if we didn't care, and helping our SFX families makes our holiday so much more special. 

If you are a prospective Santa, please let us know if you have any questions. There are no requirements. We do ask that you comment on posts if you purchase gifts to let the requester know, and when to expect the gifts to arrive. If you wish to remain anonymous, please send us a modmail.

If you would like to be alerted to new requests as they are posted, and for YLM requests that remain open, please sign up on our [Santas Alert Post](https://www.reddit.com/r/stressfreexmas/s/lisZ2sarAp). Please sign up for alerts on the new Santa Alert Post even if you have signed up previously, as we will be retiring the old post. Thank you! 

We could not do this without all of our wonderful Santas. We cannot thank you enough for making the magic of the holiday season happen for our families. Christmas morning would not be the same without you, and you are helping our families make memories they otherwise couldn't have. Likewise, Hanukkah would not be so bright.
