THIS Is How Santa Claus Is Welcomed Home Near the NORTH POLE ︱ Svalbard, Polar Night

On this day, something truly magical happens in Longyearbyen. It’s one of my favourite traditions of the entire year, and I’m bringing you along to experience it right alongside me ?✨ ? From children giving their wish lists to Santa, to walking by torchlight through the darkness, this is one of the most special traditions we have here on Svalbard. In this video, I’m taking you along to feel the magic, the community, and what Christmas is like near the North Pole. I hope it brings a little light to your day ???
