Take a pre-Christmas trip to Finnish Lapland and see the real Santa on his home turf. Children get a private audience with the bearded one, and there is plenty of time for fun in the snow, with husky sled rides, snowmobile jaunts, tobogganing and ice fishing all included.

Esprit Holidays says
Lapland is one of the world’s truly magical places, where the snow lies deep and crisp and even, reflecting the shimmering wonders of the Northern Lights. It’s a place where anything seems possible and childhood dreams can become reality.
Create your own magical family memories with an Esprit Christmas break in Lapland, crossing the Arctic Circle into Santa’s secret homeland hidden deep in the snowy forest.
The whole family will love our reindeer sleigh-rides, the excitement of husky sledding and snowmobiling, fun and laughter with Santa’s cheeky elves, and the glittering charm of this beautiful winter wonderland. Best of all, you are guaranteed a private family meeting with Santa Claus himself, in his hideaway log cabin.
Choose from our selection two- or three-night breaks with a choice of comfortable hotels featuring excellent facilities, including some with swimming pools. Alternatively, stay in a traditional cosy log cabin, either with a fully-catered chalet-style service, or a private “home-from-home” experience.
