Meet Father Christmas, Meribel

It will all start with a colourful parade through town, where circus performers and acrobats will accompany Santa Claus' carriage up the Chaudanne. The reindeer will be conserving their energy so his sleigh will be pulled into town by some beautiful horses instead.

A small jazz orchestra will turn Meribel's Place Centrale into a snowy New Orleans, where Santa Claus will have his own throne so children can say hello. Afterwards, immerse yourselves in the spirit of Christmas with a bit of carol singing in front of the Tourist Office.

Mottaret will also receive Santa Claus at the Front de Neige. There will be a torchlit descent and fireworks, as well as a photocall, hot drinks and more.
