Santatelevision Youtube channel had a very positive Christmas season 2021: highest growth came from India, where the number of viewers more than quadrupled<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite the pandemic, interest on the internet in the real Santa Claus of Lapland remains high. This is evident by the fact that Lapland’s Youtube channel (www.youtube.com\/santatelevision<\/a>) has maintained a healthy growth rate. In the 2021 Christmas season, its videos were viewed more than 20 million times<\/strong>, and the increase in the number of viewers of the channel\u00a0surprisingly\u00a0came from India. The number of Indian viewers quadrupled to present more than 21% of total viewers.<\/p>\n

Tommi Lappalainen<\/strong>, CEO of Joulupukki TV (www.joulupukkitv.com<\/a>) in Rovaniemi, which produces the channel, says that it is not very simple to explain why millions of new viewers came from India unexpectedly, especially since Christmas is not traditionally celebrated in India. Lappalainen assumes that the increase is due to India’s huge population. India is the single largest country that views Youtube. The great Indian interest in Lapland is not a new thing in itself; after all, a lot of Indian superstars visited Lapland before the pandemic, and parts of giant Bollywood productions have filmed here. “I guess Santa needs to learn more Hindi,” says Lappalainen with a twinkle in his eye.<\/p>\n

The most popular Santatelevision videos are about Santa’s reindeer, Santa Claus Village-themed clips, and videos greetings from jolly old Santa himself. The channel’s biggest hit of Christmas 2021 was the departure of Santa Claus, filmed in Mount Ritavaara in Pello and Rovaniemi.<\/p>\n

This single video was viewed more than 7 million times during the Christmas season and half of its viewers came from India.<\/p>\n

Santatelevision’s\u00a0Youtube channel currently has over 520,000 subscribers and its 300 videos have been viewed a total of nearly 200 million times. Most of the videos are in five languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian and Finnish. After strong growth in December 2020 (50%), the channel’s viewership in December 2021 grew a respectable 5%.<\/p>\n

Santatelevision’s\u00a0Youtube channel is the most popular and international Youtube channel produced in northern Finland. More than 99% of the viewers of the multilingual tourism channel come from abroad. The main countries are India 21%, Italy 12%, France 10%, Mexico 7% and Spain 7%.<\/p>\n

Santatelevision videos are primarily shot in Santa Claus Village and its surroundings in Rovaniemi. Some of the videos have also been filmed in Rovaniemi’s neighbouring municipality, Pello, the land of Santa’s reindeer.<\/p>\n
