Father Christmas receives around half a million letters a year at his post office on the Arctic Circle, from children and adults all over the world, according to Santa Claus Village. All post sent from here is stamped with the special Arctic Circle postmark, and letters dropped in the red post box are held and sent for Christmas. From 1 December 2026 to 6 January 2027 it opens daily, 9am–8pm.
