Introduction

Santa Claus House stands along the North Pole Highway about 20 kilometers north of Fairbanks, Alaska, the landmark attraction of this Christmas-themed town. The red-and-white wooden building is painted with Santa and his reindeer, and the shop sells Santa figurines, Alaska souvenirs and Christmas keepsakes year-round, most notably postcards mailed with a genuine North Pole postmark from the local post office. Outside stands a 12-meter Santa statue, one of the largest in North America, especially striking on winter snow nights. Reindeer antlers and holiday displays around the house create a storybook atmosphere. It is one of the few year-round Christmas attractions in interior Alaska, easily combined with winter aurora-viewing tours, and a warm stop for families and holiday enthusiasts.
