Private Santa Claus visits across Lapland
Experience a truly private meeting with Santa Claus at your own chalet, villa or accommodation anywhere across Finnish Lapland. Each visit is carefully prepared for your family, creating a personal and unforgettable moment in the heart of Lapland.
No queues. No rushed photo. Just your family and Santa.
Why this exists
You came all the way to Lapland. The Santa moment should feel magical.
Most families plan an entire day around meeting Santa: the drive, the parking, the queue, the wait in outdoor clothing with tired children — and then a few short minutes in a room full of strangers.
We do it the other way around. Santa travels to your family, at a time you choose, in the place where your children are already comfortable. No coats, no queue, no one watching. Just a knock at the door.
- A scheduled private visit, at your accommodation
- Unhurried time with your children only
- Prepared in advance around your family
Private · Personal · Carefully prepared
A Santa who comes to you
A quiet knock at your chalet, villa or accommodation — and Santa is there, just for your family. Wherever you stay across Finnish Lapland, your visit is personally prepared around your children, your setting and the details that make the moment yours.
Your family. Your place. A moment prepared for you.
How it works
Four quiet steps to an unforgettable evening.
Choose the visit
Tell us your dates, your location in Finnish Lapland and the package that fits your family. We review Santa's route and availability for your accommodation.
Tell Santa about your children
You complete a private preparation form: names, ages, interests, achievements and any gift you would like Santa to hand over.
Santa arrives
At the agreed time Santa arrives at your door — with a classic, reindeer or forest walk arrival where available.
Keep the memories
Photograph and film everything on your own devices. Nothing to buy afterwards, nothing to queue for.
Payment & Booking Confirmation
Once you have submitted your request, our team will review all the details and send you a booking confirmation. The confirmation will include a secure payment link through which the Santa visit is paid in full.
Your visit date and time are confirmed once the payment has been completed. After that, all that is left to do is look forward to your magical meeting with Santa Claus.
Personalisation
How does Santa know all that?
Before the visit, parents quietly complete a short preparation form. Santa reads it in advance, so he can greet each child by name and mention the things that matter to them. Children hear it as magic — you know it as preparation.
Shared privately with Santa before arrival, and used only for your visit.

The preparation behind every visit
Private Santa visits are available from mid-November until the end of January.

Prices shown below are indicative. Every request is reviewed individually, and the final price is confirmed based on the location, selected arrival, timing and any special wishes for your family’s visit.
