About this build

Santa's grotto: a great mound of snow over a cave of packed ice with lights set into its walls. Visitors queue between candy-striped posts with a red rope to a striped archway, and inside, on a red dais, Santa's chair waits with gold on its back, surrounded by presents, sacks, a decorated tree and lanterns.
