Lapland Santa Holidays > Short Breaks To Lapland : White Christmas 5 day trip to Lapland

White Christmas 5 day trip to Lapland

Make this year's Christmas a truly memorable and magical one, deep inside the Arctic Circle, in Lapland, the home of Father Christmas.  Christmas is always magical but even more so when a blanket of snow covers the ground and there's the added anticipation of meeting Father Christmas himself.

Choose from an excellent choice of accommodation in both locations.  Your visit will include a private family visit with Santa by reindeer sleigh, Snowmobile, & Husky Safaris and lots more, with the added magic of being in Lapland for Christmas Day.
