10Rovaniemi, Finland
At the top of the list is Rovaniemi, located on the Arctic Circle and widely known as the official home of Santa Claus. Few places embody Christmas as completely as this snowy town in Finnish Lapland.
Visitors can meet Santa Claus, ride reindeer-drawn sleighs, explore snow-covered forests, and stay in cozy cabins under star-filled skies. With luck, the Northern Lights add an extra layer of magic. Rovaniemi feels less like a destination and more like a living Christmas fairytale.
