About this activity
Step into a magical Finnish Christmas at Happy Fox forest farm near Rovaniemi, where you'll feed winter birds, dine by candlelight, and meet Santa Claus himself in an intimate 3-hour evening experience. This is an authentic celebration of Nordic yuletide traditions in the Arctic wilderness, complete with hot drinks, gingerbread, and the warmth of a wood-fired cottage.
We’ll arrive at the Happy Fox forest farm in the dimming wintry evening and start our Christmas experience by giving some seeds to the birds living at the farm’s forest.
After feeding the winter birds, we’ll have some hot drink with gingerbread cookies by the fireplace inside the luxurious Fox Cottage and enjoy the Christmas spirit.
Then it is time to enjoy a traditional Finnish Christmas Dinner at the candlelight.
The culmination of Christmas is when Santa arrives. That’s when we’ll sing a traditional Christmas song together to him. According to a Finnish belief, Santa only gives presents to good kids and twigs to the mean ones – let’s hope that everyone gets a present

Insider tips
- ★Book for late afternoon/early evening to catch the Arctic's magical blue-hour lighting and lower chance of cloud cover obscuring stars
- ★Dress in multiple insulated layers—temperatures drop significantly once the sun sets, and you'll be outdoors feeding birds
- ★Bring a camera or phone with good low-light capability; the candlelit dinner and Santa meeting provide stunning photo moments
- ★The farm's location in the boreal forest offers a genuine wilderness feel; arrive with an open mind rather than expecting a theme-park atmosphere
