It’s the most magical time of year and there’s no better place to spend the holidays than Santa Claus’ Post Office. Every year, we receive over 30,000 letters daily from children and adults around the world sharing their Christmas wishlists. It’s no secret that it’s the busiest time of year for us elves, so I’m inviting you to roll up your sleeves and lend a helping hand reading these heartwarming letters at the Post Office and experience the joy of the holiday season from the Arctic Circle.

The space
You will stay in Santa Claus’ Cabin, just a hop, skip and a jump away from the Santa Claus Main Post Office. A room in the cabin has been magically transformed, giving it a Yuletide makeover complete with traditional Lapland decorations, a wardrobe of elf-wear and all the accessories you could ever expect from a cosy elven bolthole in the depths of the Arctic.

Guests will be given a crash course in ‘elfing’ from yours truly, and will work with my team of elves to help sort through the letters from children all around the world - cross referencing with Santa Claus’ naughty and nice list. Guests will also participate in all kinds of tasks; emptying mailboxes and help the elves in stamping the post with the special Arctic Circle postmark before it goes to Santa Claus and learn about the day-to-day workings of the Post Office. After tending to their elf duties, guests will be treated to traditional Finnish meals, a snowmobile activity, a trip to see the northern lights and - the most Finnish experience of all - a traditional sauna.

The exclusive stay in Finland will be available for 3 nights (1 night staying in Santa Claus’ Cabin and 2 other nights in another beautiful Airbnb listing nearby) from 18-21 December 2023. Guests can request to book this stay on Monday December 11 at 12pm EET.

Other things to note
Once you arrive and check-in at Santa Claus’ Cabin, our on-site elf helper will ensure a comfortable stay for you and your guests – including showing you around and arranging meals.

Hi! I’m Katja, the Chief Elf at Santa Claus' Main Post Office. It’s my favourite time of year, getting to see all of Santa’s magic come alive around the world. Living at the centre of the holiday splendor is truly magical.
