How Santa Stops Twice™ Tradition Works
Step
1
Begin with a Special Delivery from Santa
Before Christmas, surprise your child with a personalizable wrapped Santa Stops Twice™ Book, letter and envelope as a special delivery from the North Pole. Read it together as a family. The story introduces Santa’s special plan and helps your child understand how Santa makes Christmas magical when your family celebrates together on a different day.
Step
2
Choose your Family Christmas Day™ celebration date.
Choose a day when your whole family can be together to celebrate. Whether it’s before or after December 25, this special day becomes your Family Christmas Day™, the day Santa will make his second stop.
Step
3
Your child writes to Santa.
The tradition includes a special Letter to Santa. Using their special Letter to Santa, your child writes in your Family Christmas Day and shares a few of their Christmas wish list items. Santa takes care of the rest.
Step
4
Send or “deliver” the letter.
Place the letter in your mailbox, tuck it under the tree, or choose your own magical way to send it to the North Pole. This gives your child a special part in asking Santa to stop twice for your family.
Step
5
Santa still stops on Christmas Day.
On December 25, your child wakes up to one special gift from their wish list and a filled stocking from Santa. They still experience the excitement and magic of Christmas morning, knowing Santa remembered them too. The rest of the Christmas magic is saved for your Family Christmas Day™ when everyone can celebrate together.

Founder Story
Santa Stops Twice™ was created by Adrienne Encinias, a mother of two who wanted to preserve the magic of Christmas for families whose holidays don’t always fit the traditional picture-perfect calendar.
The idea was born when Adrienne’s realized her husband was scheduled to work on Christmas Day for 3 consecutive years in a row while their children were still in the precious years of truly believing in Santa. Like many parents, Adrienne realized how quickly those childhood moments pass and how deeply families long to experience them together. Wanting to protect that sense of wonder for her children, and also allow the family to enjoy Christmas together, she imagined a simple but meaningful idea.
What if Santa could Stop Twice? The tradition began with a handmade book, a tiny mailbox beneath the tree, and a heartfelt letter inviting her daughter to choose a special Family Christmas Day™ on the day everyone could finally be together. What followed became one of their family’s most cherished holiday memories.
What started as a deeply personal tradition soon revealed something much bigger: countless families experience holidays shaped by work schedules, service careers, healthcare shifts, and other real-life circumstances.
The Santa Stops Twice™ series was created to remind children that Santa Understands™ and Christmas magic will still find them, wherever they are, and whatever their family story may look like. Today, Santa Stops Twice™ is growing into a heartfelt keepsake book series and holiday tradition brand designed to bring comfort, wonder, and meaningful memories to modern families everywhere.
Every child and family deserve Christmas magic and Santa always finds a way to bring families together for their very own Family Christmas Day™.
