My wife and I booked a trip there for late September 2024. We are so excited. From Florida to the Arctic Circle!
Most of us Finns living in Helsinki have never been to Santa's Village, cheers for the tour C+M!
My hometown! Glad you had a good time, and please come back sometimes during winter!
Love this! I have been a couple of times to Rovaniemi but never Santa's Village. Saving it for when my little boy is old enough! ☺
You're turning European. Everyone knows Santa lives in Lapland, not the North Pole. 😉
Yea
Loved this vlog ❤ thanks for sharing guys 😁
i used to live right next to this place! Sometimes the wind blew just right so i could hear the christmas music.
Käykää talvella lapissa,silloin siellä on todella kaunista❤
That's what we hear! Perhaps we will someday! :)
How pretty. I was there in October 1995 during my honeymoon in Lapland , crossing the Arctic circle.
Awesome. Was it snowy at that time?
@@chrisplusmelissa yes. We already had snow as it was the End of October/ beginning November
Nice plane indeed
I do love your vlogs. Funny and sweet. You must stay Finland at winter too
Ah thank you. We certainly do want to come back.
Hello from Finland. nice video. I have been to Rovaniemi many times. That place is more beautiful in winter, and I think SantaPark is even more beautiful. I think it's also an experience for the children, because there's something like an elf school, Finnish gingerbread decorating and ice sculptures. I hope you will come to Finland again. ❤
hei täältä suomesta. kiva video. olen käynyt monta kertaa rovaniemellä. Tuo paikka pn kauniimpi talvella ja minusta vieläkin kauniimpi on SantaPark. se on myös lapsille minusta kokemus sillä siellä on vaikka mitä esimerkiksi tonttu koulua, suomalaisien piparkakkujen koristelua ja jääveistoksia. Toivon että tulette uudestaan Suomeen.❤
Thank you! Do you know anything about the gingerbread decorating? Do they have big contests? We are wanting to come back for sure!
@@chrisplusmelissa We didn't have any competition to participate in, instead we decorated gingerbread cookies as a family. ☺️ Unfortunately, we had just had coffee in the middle-cafe , so the giant gingerbread didn't taste so good anymore.🤣 Anyway, the activities there are no means spectacular, just peaceful. A bit like in the Moomin world.🤔 The idea is to focus on the moment and your own family, they just offer a fairytale world to experience it together.😘
And again I saw that you had a good time. I'm almost 55 y.o. Finn and I visited that Santa Claus village for the first time in 2021. Of course I had been to Rovaniemi before, but had just skipped that "tourist trap" :D
Sorry to tell you, but that arctic circle there is fake. The real arctic circle is about two kilometers north from that point but it's on a swamp and that village could not be built there. In fact the arctic circle crosses the runway of the Rovaniemi airport.
The damn thing moves, so it's going to be wrong anyway.
Yep, every year the actual location of the Arctic Circle (and therefore the Antarctic Circle in the southern hemisphere as well) changes slightly due to Earth's axial tilt. The Arctic Circle of the maps is placed pretty much exactly in the middle of the long-term range. In the short term, the position of the Arctic Circle can be considered approximately constant, although at the moment it moves an average of 14 meters towards the north each year. At some point in the future, the Arctic Circle (and the Antarctic Circle) will start moving towards south again.
There are similar tourist destinations, which are not quite precise, also in other parts of the world. For example, the Mitad del Mundo monument in Ecuador, which has a yellow line indicating the location of the equator, is actually 240 meters south of the true equator, etc.
It doesn't matter that much. If we believe in Santa Claus, then we can as well believe that the Arctic Circle passes through the Santa Claus Village. The long term average location of the Arctic Circle goes near there anyway and some day it will really be there again.
Tacos would be number 1 for me too!!!
Yeah, I might have heard about this place, I only live 120km south from there, and spend a year there when I was in the military.
😆
In the 5:43 minute, Santa's dinner looks like it will be delicious ! Ho ho ho 🤤🤤
🤣
Instead of paying to see reindeer you could have just drove a little bit further down the road and seen one in the wild
They could've but seeing and being with them is way different!
You can get a real close view of it when it crashes through your windshield.
You 2 are so much fun t watch - and i don't even have plans to go to Finland. Love your videos. I can see you in the mirror Chris at about 1:47 in your videos timeline. Just trying to figure out what you have your phone mounted to? I haven't had any luck with the moving gimbals and need a better hand held mount. Any advice?
Thank you for the kind words. I too have had issues with finding the perfect gimbal... so far, the best has been the Insta360 flow... it's not perfect, but better than what we've used in the past in an effort to get smooth video during movement. Often, we just use a Joby mount, however that's another set of issues. Nothing is perfect. 😊
Hi, first, thanks for this video! You guys arrived early in the morning at the santa Claus holiday village, they allowed you early check in easily?
We had emails that said our room would be ready by 4 PM, we were just going to check our luggage and they said our room was available! It's probably not common.
Hi, I enjoyed watching this video, and the Santa Claus Express. I am wondering how did you book your Santa Claus Apartment? Was it directly though the Village website, or through a travel website, like Travelocity, Orbitz, and so on? I am going to do the train and the village soon.
Hi! We're delighted you enjoyed the videos! We booked through the Santa's Village website. We often don't want to use the travel websites because then if you need to modify something, it always seems more complicated.
Okay, okay. I believe you now. By the way, did he mention me, say anything about me?... okay, no, I was just checking, it's all good, it's all good. *walks away rather quickly*
Exactly same size sauna i have in my one room apartment. If you are still here hope you have good time!
Thank you. :)
Plz, get some salmiakki before you leave, if its not too late yet...
Most of the time, we're gone before the video hits... but we've got a 49 things different about Finland coming up for our next video... and #48 will delight you. 😉
Ha Ha. Chris if you want to become an elf, Santa's Village in Bracebridge Ontario has an Elf School.
I need to sign up! 🤣
Did you knew that at Lake reindeers drop their horns in fall and females on spring? So those reindeers who pull santas sledge must be females. Who Else want pull overweight bearred guy all over the world? 😜😂
PS. I acutually live about 6,,5 miles south from Santas village
Females are the tougher gender always. :D
It should be a punishable offense to talk about Christmas in the summer.
🤣
