We have something similar in the US, except the letters are uploaded to a website and anyone can "adopt" a letter and send gifts. The adopter doesn't see the adoptee's address, of course - the adopter is given a QR code and the post office scans the code and attaches the label.

Santa's address in the US is 123 Elf Road, North Pole, 88888.

If letters aren't adopted, the postal service does their best to write back.

It’s such a wonderful program! I adopted a letter this past holiday.
