Why you should go…

Santa Claus House began as a trading post founded in 1952 by Con and Nellie Miller, and it served as North Pole's post office into the early 1970s. Today it is a holiday store with ornaments, Alaska gifts and clothing, plus live reindeer outside and a 50-foot Santa statue for photos. Its signature item is the Letter from Santa, a tradition as old as the shop, mailed with a Santa Claus dollar and a Good List sticker.
