This year tour operator and Lapland expert Inghams makes it more accessible than ever with its Santa Breaks holidays to Finnish Lapland with new direct flights from Newcastle and East Midlands.
The three- or four-night stays include a visit to one of Santa’s workshops (enjoy a gingerbread Bake Off with the elves and play festive games with new friends), a private get-together with Santa Claus himself, Christmas-themed buffet dinner and party with the main man and his mates and pocket a souvenir gift to take home.
There’s also plenty of time for playing in the snow and marvel at the Northern Lights (for awesome-ness they give Santa a run for his money).
Optional experiences include a rendez-vous with Comet the Reindeer on a combined reindeer and husky safari and farm visit; experiencing a magical snowmobile safari through the enchanting, snowy wilderness; and enjoying downhill ski lessons on near-empty slopes with a friendly, English-speaking instructor.
Accommodation options range from half board hotels to self-catering apartments and cosy log cabins.
The four-star Levi Hotel Panorama & Apartments is the new base from which to delve deeper into this unique winter wonderland.
Perched at the top of Levi Fell and reached by a three-minute gondola ride from Levi village centre, this stylish hotel boasts staggering views from its modern family hotel rooms and spacious, fully-equipped apartments.
Downhill ski from the doorstep, and make the most of the other amenities: sauna (private sauna in apartments), gym, children’s play area, large restaurant with ski slope views, and bar and lounge.
Half board (buffet breakfasts and dinners) is included for both rooms and apartments.
Inghams’ three-night Santa Break to the four-star Levi Hotel Panorama & Apartments is from £849 per person based on two adults and two children sharing.
Price includes accommodation on half board, return flights from Bristol to Kittilä and airport transfers (just a 20-minute journey), as well as complimentary thermal suits and boots (from three years old).
