Visiting the Santa Claus post office in Rovaniemi, Finland, is one of those experiences you should have at least once in your life, even if you're an adult. But sleeping in Santa Claus's house, next to it, is even better.
This will be possible very soon, because Airbnb proposes and the stay will be completely free, including the flight thanks to a cooperation with Visit Finland.
In return you have to work for Santa Claus: to sort, with the support of the host Katja, over 30 thousand letters a day that arrive here, written by people of all ages.
Guests will also take part in other activities such as emptying mailboxes, helping the "elf" stamp with the special Arctic Circle stamp and learning how to work in the post office.
After completing your "tasks", you can enjoy this part of the world, enjoy traditional Finnish dishes, take a snowmobile ride, admire the Northern Lights and live the most typical experience of all, that of local sauna.
You can stay for free in Santa Claus' magical hideaway, a few steps from his post office.
The bedroom is specially set up for the Christmas season with traditional Sami decorations, an elf wardrobe and all the accessories you'd expect to find in a cozy retreat in the Arctic Circle.
How to win a stay at Santa Claus' house
To earn the stay, you must submit a reservation request beginning Monday, December 11, at 11:00 a.m., at airbnb.com/santa.
Visit Finland and Finnair will offer flights from London Heathrow Airport.
The living room is suitable for a maximum of two adults and two children.
We leave on December 18 and the first night we sleep in Santa Claus's house, the other two in a structure, always present and provided by Airbnb, nearby.
"Staying at Santa Claus's magical North Pole haven in magical Finland is not just a holiday, it's a journey into the heart of the Christmas spirit," explains Amanda Cupples, general manager of Northern Europe at Airbnb.
Finally, for the occasion, the US online portal will make a one-time donation to Special Children's Omaiset Elo, a peer support association targeting children and youth with special needs. (A2 Televizion)
