If you don't fancy leaving the country, there is another, far more accessible, way to experience Lapland.
Children can grant their Christmas wishes to meet Santa and his crew of helpers at the winter paradise in Ascot, Berkshire.
The park is said to be a "secret immersive adventure based on an original re-imagination of the Father Christmas myth", – and it's definitely way closer – and cheaper – than the real deal.
For more family deals this year, Haven launched Christmas breaks from £6pp a night – with themed activities and entertainment.
