Santa Claus gives his much-awaited speech in the annual Christmas opening in his official hometown Rovaniemi in Finnish Lapland 10th November. This year you can join the festivities directly from your own sofa!
Christmas opening festivities traditionally start the Christmas season in Finland. Held in Santa Claus’ official hometown Rovaniemi in the Arctic Circle, the celebration gathers people around the world to live the magic of Christmas.
The festivities start with a Christmas carol concert. Jingle bells jingle and elves gambol around when it's time for the beloved Santa Claus to step on stage and hold his annual speech. Elves have whispered that this year Santa would speak about the meaning of goodwill. The speech and warm atmosphere will surely get everyone into the spirit of Christmas.
As Santa cannot fly everyone to Lapland to celebrate this special time of the year with him, he has arranged a possibility to take part in the festivities online. A live broadcast from Arctic Circle starts at 3.45 pm Finnish time (UTC +2) on the Visit Rovaniemi Facebook-site (www.facebook.com/VisitRovaniemi.fi) and Livestream (https://livestream.com/onair/santa).
