Children might be left heartbroken this Christmas after Santa’s Office, based in Lapland, Finland declared itself bankrupt on Thursday night due to an unpaid €200,000 (£143,537) tax bill.
Around 300,000 tourists from 100 different countries visit Santa in person in his official office in Rovaniemi on the Arctic Circle in Finnish Lapland each year.
However, the popular attraction has suffered from a sharp drop in visitors from recession-hit Russia, once the venue most frequent customers.
