Santa Claus Wakes Up

Saturday, November 22, 2025, at 11:00 AM

Santa Claus has been taking a well-deserved nap after his long journey from the North Pole — and we need YOUR help to wake him up! So grab your parents, grandparents, and siblings, and head to the square in front of MCH Herning Kongrescenter.

Enjoy a cozy morning with MCH’s cheerful Christmas elves and Santa himself. For those with a sweet tooth, there will be stalls offering delicious holiday treats.

Don’t forget to warm up your voices — we’ll wake Santa with live music and well-known Christmas songs.

When Santa wakes up, he’ll be picked up in his horse-drawn carriage, and together we’ll walk through the pedestrian street to Santa’s House by the library.

10:30 AM – The square opens
10:30–10:50 AM – Christmas fun with MCH’s elves
