Santa's treating himself real nice this year and setting up shop at The Ritz

In a pairing that seems ripped straight from a “name a more iconic duo” meme, famed toy store Hamleys is teaming up with the bastion of opulence that is The Ritz London hotel for the Hamleys X Ritz London Christmas Grotto.

A recession-denying Santa Claus seems to have indulged in a bit of queue-skipping straight out of the MP playbook and placed himself at the top of the ‘Nice' list this year. Thanks to a collab between world-famous toy store Hamleys and the luxurious five-star Ritz London hotel, he'll be setting up his Christmas grotto in The Ritz's Royal Suite this year for the first time ever.

The spectacular experience will be open to the public for two days only, on 3rd and 4th December. The winter legend himself will be present to meet and greet families, of course. To commemorate the occasion, he'll also be handing out special personalised gifts, and other festive fun is also promised.

Reservations for this exclusive experience open at 10am on 15th November, giving you just enough time to straighten up your act a bit and maybe make it onto the ‘Nice' list as well.
