Holidays At: North Pole, Alaska

Welcome to North Pole, Alaska – where the spirit of Christmas lives year ‘round!

North Pole is a growing community that captures the imaginations of visitors to their great state.  Driving through North Pole in any season you will notice Christmas decorations, street names, and light poles that reflect their motto.  When you visit North Pole, be sure to drive down Santa Claus Lane with their new round-a-bouts and giant candy can light poles.

No visit to North Pole would be complete without a stop at the Santa Claus House.  This world famous attraction houses unique gifts sure to please family and friends back home. The Santa Claus House, the “official” home of Santa Claus greets all visitors who pass through the city on the Richardson Highway. Live reindeer, a variety of photo opportunities, and Santa Claus himself are available for photographs year round. 

While the real North Pole has no terra firma many travelers discovered this town as an ideal way to finally visit the home of Santa Claus. This revelation made this small town in Alaska a must visit during the holidays causing the town to create more and more Santa Claus themed attractions. Many elaborate ideas have been brought up from some of the country's largest amusement park companies however nothing ever came to fruition.

Prior to Christmas each year, the USPS post office in North Pole receives hundreds of thousands of letters to Santa Claus, and thousands more from people wanting the town's postmark on their Christmas greeting cards to their families. It advertises the ZIP code 99705 as the ZIP code of Santa.

Each year the North Pole community starts the holiday season with a Winter Festival including fireworks, a candle lighting ceremony, Christmas in Ice ribbon-cutting ceremony, and a community tree lighting event the first weekend in December.

They also have a variety of wonderful restaurants sure to satisfy any palate. 

And remember, Santa knows who’s been naughty or nice!
