Ho Ho. but who? Fairmont The Palm, the five-star luxury family resort on Palm Jumeirah, has a global mission at hands, to find the best resident Santa for its fast approaching festive season.

Required for all typical Santa roles and responsibilities, Fairmont The Palm is looking for the crème de la crème of Santa's, one that goes above and beyond the usual Christmas cheer. The resort has made a list, that they will be checking twice, of the ideal traits and key skills required for the role in the form of a job description that all applicants must adhere to.

Key skill sets include: having a jolly disposition, must be compatible with elves, must have a certain sized waistline, needs a minimum length for his white beard and of course, must ooze festive flair.

The winner will be selected shortly after.

The chosen Santa will win an all-inclusive trip to Dubai, staying at Fairmont The Palm for three weeks between 5th and 26th December, where in-between a few hours of Santa work per day, he and a guest of his choice will enjoy a memorable stay with a return flight from their home destination.
