It is heartbreaking to see many fine establishments close their doors worldwide.The most famous resident of Rovaniemi wants to send a positive message and kind reminder to everyone around the world, to keep dreaming. 

It has been a quarter century since Santa Claus opened his doors to welcome visitors daily to his office at the Arctic Circle Rovaniemi. The tradition stands still as Santa Claus Office is closing the doors from visits here on the Arctic Circle but opening a window to Christmas magic via daily live stream, so that everyone in need of some Magic can join on Santa Claus Office website: www.santaclausoffice.com This is the time to dream new dreams!

Stay home and healthy and take care of your loved ones, remember to keep the dream alive,

on behalf of Visit Rovaniemi
