Private Programs

Your family’s own Christmas fairytale

Deep in Santa Claus Secret Forest – Joulukka, a Christmas adventure is waiting just for your family. With a private program, the elves welcome you into their world and guide you through a story created especially for you.

In a private program, the forest feels quieter, the moments stretch a little longer, and every detail is prepared with your family in mind.

There’s time for children to ask questions, follow their curiosity and get to know the elves. You might step inside Santa’s Toy Factory, learn the secrets of the Christmas Command Center or gather around the fire in Santa’s Forest Hut. Each program has its own story, with special moments for your family to share together.

Our private programs also include a private meeting with Santa Claus. Away from the crowds, your family has time to talk with Santa and enjoy being together, without feeling rushed.

Private programs are available all year round, bringing a little Christmas magic to every season in Lapland.
