Secret Santa Doors

Secret Santa: A magical Advent calendar for children

The Secret Santa Door is a wonderful Christmas story for young and old. It brings joy to crafting and decorating, as well as great fun until Christmas. Secret Santa doors come in a variety of designs to suit your taste. The Secret Santa doors can be attached to the wall or to a staircase or even designed as an independent little house. Here, too, all preferences can be implemented individually.

Secret Santa doors tell a very special story - an elf moves into the house! And with him, great stories, hands-on activities, gifts and ideas. A wonderful Secret Santa door that enchants with its actions and its mere presence. But here too - everything can be freely designed according to personal taste. With our ideas, we would like to offer you a great source of inspiration where you can see what you would like to implement and which ideas you would like to create yourself.

What is a Secret Santa Door?


A Secret Santa door is a cute accessory that can be decorated above the baseboard, on the staircase or anywhere else in the house in the run-up to Christmas. There are endless design possibilities with the Secret Santa door and it is a great craft project to get creative and make the door very individual. In our online shop you will find a large selection of great craft sets, Secret Santa doors and also matching miniatures to create your own Secret Santa door scene.

The Secret Santa door opens the entrance to a great pre-Christmas story for you and your children, in which an elf moves into your home. This stimulates the children's imagination and brings a magic into your home. The pre-Christmas period is shortened by great stories about the Secret Santa.

Originally, the custom of the Secret Santa comes from Denmark. Here, the elf who moves into the house before Christmas is usually called Nisse. The custom of creating a Secret Santa door in one's house only came to Germany a few years ago.

Secret Santa Clauses are nice, friendly creatures who, in the run-up to Christmas, decorate their Secret Santa door in a different way, address personal words to their housemates in the form of notes and letters, or sometimes even have a gift for the occupants of the house. But sometimes they can be clumsy and make a mess or accidentally spill something, leave biscuit crumbs and much more. - This makes them very lively, especially for the children, and the little ones are curious every day to see what the little housemate has been up to in front of and behind the Secret Santa door.

It is important for the children to know that the Secret Santa door only opens for the Secret Santa himself and that they should not pull or tear at it.

What is the best way to attach the Secret Santa door?


Traditionally, the Secret Santa door is fixed above the skirting board, on the wall or even on steps. The best place is one that you can pass by during the day and that is also easily visible.

Poster strips, double-sided adhesive tape or adhesive dots can be used to attach it.

If you don't want to or can't attach anything to the wall, the Secret Santa doors can also be arranged in boxes or crates that can then be placed on the wall.

And what do the elves do?


The elves are out and about at night and sometimes leave something behind for the children. Whether it's the tracks that can be seen, a great craft idea that the elf has left behind for the children or even a small gift - the children will be thrilled and you can let loose according to your own creativity.

In our instructions, we have put together some ideas that you can craft and implement or take as inspiration to bring in your own fantasies.
