“We had the most magical evening on our Meet Santa experience in Rovaniemi. Seeing the northern lights was a complete surprise and it absolutely made the whole trip. The guides were brilliant and stayed in character as elves throughout, which kept everything feeling fun and authentic. The ladies looking after us went above and beyond to make sure both the children and adults were comfortable. They deserve real credit. Meeting Santa was a dream come true for my 9 year old. I might have joined in too and sat on his lap for a family photo. Fingers crossed he grants my wish this year. The food was simple local sausage…”
