Ever wondered what it would be like to go to Santa’s home and meet the Elves, eat cookies made by Mrs Clause or checking out the official North Pole Post Office? Well here it is in Rovaniemi. An open invitation to book your once in a lifetime holiday experience.
The Northern Lights start appearing in late August and this is the reason why many people visit Lapland during August, September and October as it is the ideal Aurora viewing months, but we think Christmas is the best time ever. This is the time to experience a magical Christmas in magical surroundings.
Temperatures start dropping below zero usually in October, and the first snow will then start to fall. So in December it is a true Winter Wonderland.
There is snow all around the world, but Lapland is different. There are thousands of ‘Christmas trees’ growing everywhere and all capped with snow.
There are more Reindeer than people in Lapland.
That no matter how hard I try to explain to you what Santa Clause Village is all about, you just have to experience this for yourself. I will never be able to get the right words. So here are some inspirational videos straight from Santa’s Village in Rovaniemi, Lapland:
See this video from Santa’s television station of a baby Reindeer in Santa’s Village.

When visiting Rovaniemi, you will have the opportunity to meet the reindeer in person.
