On December 17, 2021, as part of Finland at Expo 2020 Dubai’s Christmas celebrations, Santa Claus will be arriving in Dubai all the way from his workshop in Korvatunturi, Finland, to greet visitors to Finland pavilion. Taking a short break from preparing presents, Santa will be meeting with adults and children daily for photo opportunities and to hear last-minute Christmas wishes.
There are few people so instantly recognisable and so beloved as Santa Claus. The jolly old man radiates warmth and inspires people to care for each other. He is a genuine symbol of goodwill and giving all over the world. Santa’s annual mission is to deliver happiness worldwide with the help of his team of trusty reindeer friends. With the happiness that Santa brings and his message of hope and joy, it should not come as a surprise that Santa is, in fact, from Lapland in Northern Finland.
To support Finland’s pavilion theme of ‘Sharing Future Happiness’, Santa will be also be asking visitors what makes them happy in the hope of spreading Christmas cheer to all.
Leaving just in time to start his deliveries on Christmas Eve, Santa will be meeting visitors to Finland’s Snow Cape pavilion until December 22, 2021. Visitors are encouraged to plan their trips to meet Santa Claus early to avoid disappointment.
