Santa Claus – a role with a big heart, the true bearer of Christmas magic

Dear Santa,
A new winter is just around the corner.

We’re looking for a charismatic and experienced SANTA CLAUS for a leadership-level seasonal contract for Christmas 2025. The work takes place from late November until Epiphany (early January) across three Wilderness Hotels locations:
🎄 Nellim

This isn’t just about wearing the red suit – it’s about becoming the heart of Christmas, creating warmth and wonder for guests from around the world. As Santa, you will deliver moments of pure magic that families will remember forever.

Your role includes:

  • Sharing gifts and heartwarming encounters with guests
  • Performing in hotel Christmas programs and cozy cabin visits
  • Collaborating with elves, guides, and the activity team
  • Embodying Santa Claus with presence, professionalism, and care
  • Fully embracing the character – you're not just an actor, you're the Santa

We expect from you:

  • Stage experience and strong charisma
  • Great interpersonal skills and a calm, warm presence
  • Excellent English (other languages are a plus)
  • Ability to stay in character in all situations
  • Commitment for the entire Christmas season

We offer you:

  • A leadership-level seasonal contract for Christmas 2025
  • Salary: €5000/month
  • Free accommodation and all needed equipment
  • Support from a professional team and ready-made program concepts
  • An unforgettable work setting in the magical wilderness of Lapland

This is a dream role for someone who truly wants to be at the heart of Christmas and create lasting memories for both the young and the young at heart.

Could you be the Santa we’re looking for?
