The hometown of Santa Claus The four most famous Santa Claus villages in the world

Christmas is coming soon. Every Christmas, Western countries say that Santa Claus’ hometown is their country. So, do you know where Santa Claus’ home is? Next, let’s learn about it together.

Santa Claus's Hometown: Finland

Regarding Santa Claus' hometown, the first guess might be Finland. The story happened a long time ago on Ear Mountain in the suburbs of Rovaniemi, Finland. At that time, Finnish children's story master Marcus made up a story for children on the radio: Santa Claus and 20,000 reindeer live on this "Ear Mountain". It is because of the "ears" that Santa Claus can hear the voices of all the children in the world in the distant North Pole. From then on, the "Ear Mountain" in the story became the hometown of Santa Claus. Later, the Finnish government promoted tourism and built Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi near Ear Mountain, which is also the most famous Santa Claus Village in the world.

Greenland, the hometown of Santa Claus

The second guess is that Santa Claus’ hometown may be in Greenland. Because at the 40th World Santa Claus Convention, everyone believed that Greenland was the hometown of Santa Claus, and the reason given was: Greenland has the largest number of reindeer in the world. On the coast of Nuuk, the capital of Greenland, there is the world's largest mailbox built specifically for Santa Claus. Every year, this mailbox receives more than 100,000 letters from all over the world.
