KILLEEN, Texas (Nov. 21, 2025) – The Killeen Parks and Recreation Department, in partnership with the Youth Advisory Commission (YAC), is inviting families to take part in its annual Letters to Santa Program. A special “magical mailbox” will be available at the Family Recreation Center from Nov. 25 to Dec. 15 for children to drop off their letters.
The mailbox will be located inside the Family Recreation Center at 1700 E. Stan Schlueter Loop. Santa will personally respond by mail to each child who submits a letter.
Parents are asked to complete an entry form in person at the Family Recreation Center. The child’s letter and completed entry form must be submitted together in the same envelope. Envelopes will be provided by the Parks and Recreation Department. One entry is allowed per child.
“We are excited to help bring holiday magic to Killeen families again this year,” said Killeen Parks and Recreation Executive Director Antonio Murphy. “The Letters to Santa Program is a cherished tradition that allows children to share their wishes and receive a special message in return.”
