Everyone knows where Santa lives — the North Pole, of course — but when it comes to knowing where everyone's favorite chocolate-bearing rabbit takes up residence, the answer isn't quite as well known. It's no secret that the Easter Bunny likes to come and leave lots of hidden chocolate and treat-filled eggs for the children to find on their Easter egg hunt. But what is a bit more secretive is where exactly the Easter Bunny is bringing those eggs from. There's never been any concrete answer as to where the Easter Bunny is meant to live (and lay all of his chocolate eggs) but thankfully, to answer any wondering minds (both child and adult alike), there are a few plausible theories.

So where does the Easter Bunny Live?

The one thing most people tend to agree on is that like any rabbit, the Easter Bunny lives in an underground burrow. The location of that burrow, however, is up for debate.

Some say that the burrow is deep underground on Easter Island — which is extremely fitting, name-wise. The Polynesian island was named Easter Island after being discovered by Dutch explorer Jacob Roggeveen on Easter Sunday in 1722, so it definitely has a longstanding connection to the holiday and would be the perfect spot for Easter's mascot to take up residence.

Many believe the Easter Bunny lives on Easter Island.

But since stories of a bunny bringing eggs and candy to children in the spring originated among German Lutherans in the 1600's, others believe that the rabbit would have a home somewhere in the European country. According to History.com, when Germans immigrated to Pennsylvania in the 1700s they brought their experiences with the Easter Bunny with them, and it soon spread all of the United States.

Whatever the truth may be, the Easter Bunny's exact address continues to remain a mystery.
