Rovaniemi: Santa Claus & Elf Visit to Your Holiday Home｜Finland

Imagine the excitement when there is a knock at the door.
You open it — and there he is.

Santa Claus has come to visit you, accompanied by his trusted elf, bringing the magic of Christmas directly to your holiday home in Rovaniemi.

No queues. No crowds. No waiting for your turn.

For this special moment, Santa Claus is here only for you.
Whether you're staying in a hotel, apartment, cabin or villa in the Rovaniemi area, Santa and his elf come directly to you. There's no need to travel anywhere or spend precious holiday time waiting in line. Simply relax and wait for that magical knock on the door.

Your own moment with Santa
This isn't a meet-and-greet shared with other families. During the visit, it's just your family or group, Santa Claus and his elf.

Before the visit, you can tell us the names and ages of the guests and share special details you'd like Santa to know. Perhaps your child loves football, horses, dinosaurs or drawing. Maybe something exciting has happened in your family.

Santa can naturally use these little details during the conversation, leaving children wondering:

How did Santa know that?
That's where some of the real Christmas magic begins.

Gifts delivered by Santa
If you have Christmas presents for your family, Santa can personally give them to your children during the visit. We'll provide simple instructions beforehand so the gifts can be prepared without spoiling the surprise.

Then comes an unforgettable moment: receiving Christmas presents directly from Santa Claus.

Santa's cheerful elf helps everything run smoothly, interacts with the children and adds a little extra elf magic to the occasion.

Take all the photos you want
Take photos and videos with your own phone or camera throughout the visit. Santa's elf can also help take family photos so everyone can be in the picture together.

There are no other families waiting behind you and nobody rushing you through a predetermined photo moment.

No strangers. No queues. Just your own special moment with Santa.

A little taste of Christmas from Lapland

Before continuing their Christmas journey, Santa and his elf leave your family with a small surprise: homemade gingerbread cookies prepared especially for the occasion, giving you one more little taste of a Finnish Christmas.

Then it's time to say goodbye.
The door closes and your holiday home becomes quiet again — but something has changed.

Santa Claus really came to visit you in Lapland.
The visit lasts approximately 20 minutes, giving you time for genuine interaction, gifts, photographs and Christmas magic.

You came all the way to Rovaniemi, the hometown of Santa Claus.

Why wait in line to meet him when Santa Claus can come to you?
