viralnova.com brings us this port from the far north of Finland. 
 

Lapland, Findland is so far north, it’s basically in a constant state of being a winter wonderland.

 
Lapland, Finland, has got to be one of the most beautiful places on earth. Plus, if Santa is real, then he definitely lives in this magical place. Even if you hate wintry wonderlands (and who does, really?) you still might want to put visiting there on your bucket list. Lapland is the largest and northernmost region of Finland. It’s so large, it’s the least densely populated area of the country. There would be nothing but you, the wilderness and maybe some friendly penguins (which sounds great, don’t lie)

Riisitunturi National Park in southern Lapland is renowned for its crown snow trees.

Lapland would be great to visit, but living in that kind of weather year-round (especially when Finland gets less sunlight than we’re used to in the United States) would be rough. Unless you found Santa’s workshop, then it’d just be gravy.
