The red and gold coloured postboxes, decorated with snowmen, snowflakes and gold stars, will play festive tunes like Jingle Bells and We Wish You A Merry Christmas as locals post their mail.
Nick Landon, chief commercial officer at Royal Mail, said: “This is Royal Mail’s busiest time of the year.
“December sees about twice as many letters, cards and parcels as other months.
“At Royal Mail, we’re geared up to help with festive preparations, whether that’s delivering the nation’s love and best wishes through Christmas cards, or the presents that tens of millions of people will be shopping online for right now.
“This year we’re adding some extra festive joy and cheer for people sending their letters and Christmas cards to loved ones through our amazing singing postboxes.”
