A family adventure in a hidden forest hut

Hidden deep in the arctic forest stands Santa Claus’ Forest Hut, a warm and nostalgic place where the scent of spices, stories, and Christmas memories lingers in the air. Private Gingerbread Masterclass with Santa Claus is an intimate family experience shared with no one else, bringing you into the elves’ cherished traditions.

Your journey begins as the elves welcome you and guide your family along the magical forest path. Lanterns glow softly, snow crunches beneath your feet, and the trees feel as though they are keeping watch over a secret older than time.

Inside the Forest Hut, warmth surrounds you. The elves prepare a gingerbread masterclass, teaching you how to build and decorate the smallest gingerbread house you have ever seen. Children and adults work together, hands dusted with sugar and smiles brightened by the cheerful guidance of the elves. Between tasks, you enjoy warm drinks by the open fire while the elves share stories from their world.

As the masterclass draws to its most heartwarming moment, the elves sense that someone special is near. Soon your family is welcomed into a private encounter with Santa Claus, who greets each child with gentle warmth and festive joy. Every family receives a welcome letter from Santa as a treasured keepsake of the day.

To make your visit even more personal, you may share a few details about your family in advance, such as names, ages, or hobbies. The elves will weave this information into your experience.
