Lapland Holidays 2024/2025

Tucked far away in northernmost Finland lies the magical place that Santa Claus calls home. This is a region deep inside the Arctic Circle; a land of wonder and enchantment that really comes alive with the spirit of Christmas. You never know just who you might see...

Whether you're looking to explore pretty snow-clad pine forests in a reindeer-drawn sleigh, search for Santa and his elves, or indulge in adrenaline-charged activities like snowmobile safaris, we can offer something that will tick most boxes. Lapland is a winter wonderland with a difference.

Book a break to Lapland next winter from under £1,000pp. Say hello to Santa, get cosy in a log cabin and spot the famous Northern Lights.

 

Hidden in the snowy forest, are two enchanted igloos offering a magical experience for your trip to Santa's Lapland. Admire the twinkling lights and ice sculptures, join in the fun and games with Santa's Elves and even enjoy a drink and snack in our ice bar.

Imagine the excitement of riding through the snowy forest by a snowmobile sleigh and watching your children's faces light up when they meet Santa. Plus, with lots of fun snow activities to enjoy too - there's no better place to celebrate the festive season than Santa's Lapland.

On a Santa's Lapland holiday you'll stay in the real winter wonderland, 200km above the Arctic Circle. With snow-sprinkled forests and lots of fun snow activities, including meeting Santa in his wooden cabin, Saariselkä is the perfect magical home for a three or four day festive break.

Mountains of snow to toboggan down, mini-skidoos for the kids to enjoy and as much cloud-berry juice and pancakes as you like… and there’s plenty more fun to have!

Stay in hotels, hand-picked by Santa’s elves and enjoy a half-board stay, with lunch and refreshments on your Search for Santa day.
