Another bloody hot day, not like the weather in North Pole Alaska, which is the place we are looking at today.
North Pole is a
small city in Alaska that fully embraces a year‑round Christmas identity.
Despite the name, it sits about 1,700 miles south of the actual geographic
North Pole.
It has a population
of around 2,243 according to the 2020 census. It is located 20 minutes southeast
of Fairbanks, its zip code is 99705 which is often used for letters to Santa.
The
towns motto is: “Where the Spirit of Christmas Lives Year Round!”
The
towns biggest attraction is Santa’s house which has a giant Santa statue,
Christmas décor, reindeer and what feels like an endless number of ornaments
and gifts.
The
street names are Santa Clause Lane, Kris Kringle Drive, Mistletoe Lane to name
a few.
The local post
office receives hundreds of thousands of letters every year addressed simply to
“Santa Claus, North Pole, Alaska”.
It’s a quirky, charming stop for travellers heading through Fairbanks — especially those who love Christmas or want a fun photo op with the giant Santa.
