FAMILIES could head on the day trip of a lifetime to the magical Christmas land of Lapland this December.<\/p>\n
The day trip deals start from \u00a3720 for adults and kids and include your flights, meals, husky-sled ride, Santa meet & greets and more.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The deals include flights from UK airports to a remote and exclusive location in Swedish Lapland, Pajala, just beyond the Arctic Circle.<\/p>\n
Lapland, also known as Santa's home, is a part of northern Europe that borders Finland, Sweden, and the Kola Peninsula of Russia.<\/p>\n
Once you've landed in the winter wonderland, you'll visit the picturesque Santa village, where your day tour will begin and end. <\/p>\n
During the day, every family will have a private meeting with Santa himself, and he will even have a memorable Christmas gift for each child. <\/p>\n You'll also get a husky-sled ride, a snowmobile experience and even a reindeer sleight trip. <\/p>\n In the midst of the activities, you'll be treated to a traditional Swedish hot lunch. <\/p>\n The average temperature in December is around -5C, but it can even reach -17C, so you'll need to be all wrapped up to enjoy the activities. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Not to worry, though, as the deals include thermal clothing, gloves and boots. <\/p>\n Here are some of the best deals:<\/p>\n If you don't fancy leaving the country, there is another, far more accessible, way to experience Lapland.<\/p>\n Children can grant their Christmas wishes to meet Santa and his crew of helpers at the winter paradise in Ascot, Berkshire.<\/p>\n The park is said to be a "secret immersive adventure based on an original re-imagination of the\u00a0Father Christmas\u00a0myth", – and it's definitely way closer – and cheaper – than the real deal. <\/p>\n For more family deals this year, Haven launched Christmas breaks from \u00a36pp a night \u2013 with themed activities and entertainment.<\/p>\n We've also rounded up\u00a0six of the best-value foreign Christmas market holidays\u00a0this winter.<\/p>\n Alternatively, for a festive break without the kids, a UK hotel chain launched\u00a0immersive adult-only Christmas breaks with live shows and ice domes.<\/p>\n Prices correct at the time of publication.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/picture>HOL YEAH <\/span><\/p>\n
