Meet Santa in Lapland - Longer Trips
You can do a lot in one day, but think about how much Christmas fun you could have with two, three, four or even five days in the magical snow-filled world of Lapland.
Just think what it would be like to be in Lapland on Christmas Day itself… having fun in the snow during the day, but as night approaches, a spectacular Christmas Gala Meal and disco gets underway, before a visit from Santa Claus himself…..he’ll come laden with a sleigh full of gifts for everyone!
