The Alsace Passage in the heart of Helmond will once again transform into a magical Christmas village this winter: Santa's Village. From 7 to 22 December 2024 young and old can immerse themselves in the enchanting atmosphere of Christmas, with countless surprises and activities that make the festive month extra special. This is the destination for a family-friendly getaway during the December days!
Enter the magical worlds of Santa's Village
At Santa's Home you get a peek into Santa's post office, Mrs. Claus' kitchen, Santa's cosy living and working room and even his bedroom and bathroom. Also Rudolph's Home is a real must-see, where you can admire the reindeer. Who knows, you might even come across Rudolph himself! A wonderful photo opportunity is sure to be found here.
At Santa's Bakery the tastiest Christmas biscuits will be baked, which you can decorate and take home. This activity is possible every day, and for only €2 you can participate. But that's not all! You can also do Christmas crafts and make your own works of art (on 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19 and 20 December), or use your creativity to make beautiful Christmas cards (on 11, 13, 18 and 20 December). Both activities cost only €1 per person.
Santa's Cookies & More is the place to stop for Christmas treats and unique Christmas gifts. And in Santa's Sewing Studio you can see how Christmas elves' costumes are made, or dress yourself in a Christmas outfit for a photo shoot in a festive setting.
The magical scavenger hunt offers the chance to search for all the lost presents and find Simon's wish list. The scavenger hunt is free every day, and a prize winner will be announced on the Santa's Village website on 22 December.
Fun photo opportunities can be found at various spots in Santa's Village, where you can take a picture in a beautiful Christmas setting - perfect for a nice keepsake or to give as a gift.
Food court and delicacies
Of course, a Christmas atmosphere is not complete without delicious food!
