The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇
A: H0H 0H0
Canada Post has assigned Santa Claus the special postal code H0H 0H0, which cleverly spells out "Ho Ho Ho" and directs letters to his North Pole post office, where elves help sort mail received from children worldwide. Address it to: Santa Claus, North Pole, H0H 0H0, Canada. Include your return address so Santa and his helpers can send a reply. Mail it in any Canada Post mailbox or post office.
This postal code is part of Canada Post's beloved annual program, ensuring children's letters reach Santa for over 40 years,
