As seen on T.V, Santa's Lapland's popular trips to visit the real Santa in his winter wonderland home high above the Arctic Circle, offers families the chance to fill their Christmas with marvel and awe. With so much disappointment surrounding Christmas 2020, Santa's Lapland are providing people with exactly what they want—a spectacular Christmas to look forward to.

Santa's Lapland's CEO, Joe Ponte said:

“Christmas 2020 was disappointing for many, so parents are thinking about what they can do to make-up for it and make Christmas really special this year, and next year.

Visiting Santa in his home, riding in a husky sleigh, elves, igloos, snow, reindeer, tandem skiing, tobogganing, spotting the Northern Lights and so on, all make for a pretty special Christmas. It's the perfect antidote to help families rekindle the magic.

As families have looked to secure that Christmas magic, new Santa's Lapland bookings for 2021 have poured in. Combined with the high numbers of people who chose to rebook for 2021 after their 2020 trips were suspended, we've seen great numbers filling our 2021 programme. So much so, that we are now 70% booked for Christmas 2021 and now need to offer our customers the chance to book Santa's Lapland holidays in 2022.

With children growing up fast, there is a small window for many families to get the most out of visiting Santa, and understandably parents are keen for their children not to miss out. We're doing what we can to accommodate that. Including increasing the number of departure dates we're offering and putting our 2022 programme on sale early.”

For 2022, these magical trips are currently available with departures on 25 November to 24 December, and deposits of just £150 per person. Allowing children to fly out on Christmas eve if they want—what could be more exciting than that!

Santa's Lapland offer a choice of activity-packed packages for every family. With full length, snow fun adventures like husky sledding and more, all included in the price. Along with flights from a choice of 14 regional airports, including East Midlands Airport which has returned for 2022, and different accommodation options. 

Families can pick from the Santa's Magic package and its selection of hotels or Santa's Aurora and its Star Arctic hotel, perfect for spotting the Northern Lights. Both are available as 3- or 4-day breaks and are overflowing with winter festivities, and fun for all.
