What's included in the 3-hour tour?

Gingerbread baking, Christmas tree decoration, letter-writing to Santa, and a full traditional Finnish Christmas meal (rice porridge, prune soup, fish, beverages, and hot drinks) served by the fireplace.

How many people can join?

Groups of 2–8 people. For parties larger than 8, contact hello@happyfox.fi directly to arrange.

What's the actual cost for my group?

The minimum is €740 for 2 people. Each additional person costs €90. For example, 4 people = €740 + (2 × €90) = €920 total.

Is this suitable for young children?

Yes—the hands-on activities (baking, decorating, writing to Santa) and cosy fireplace setting appeal to families with children. The meal includes traditional Finnish dishes that are family-friendly.

Warm winter clothing is recommended, as the experience is at a forest farm in Rovaniemi. Inside the cottage, the fireplace provides warmth, but the atmosphere is rustic and can remain cool.

How do I get to Happy Fox from central Rovaniemi?

The cottage is located at the Happy Fox forest farm outside the city centre. Transportation from your accommodation is not specified in the tour details; contact the operator for pickup options or directions.
