If summer 2020 has been a disappointment with no memories from a fabulous family holiday to keep you going through the winter, why not book some fantastic Christmas magic instead!

Visiting Santa in Lapland – whether for a day trip or over two or three days – is something your children will never forget. This is the ultimate in Christmas magic and is as rewarding for parents and grandparents, as for the children themselves. And there are free, and half price, child places on offer on some departures. Surely this is the perfect solution to those ‘return to school’ blues!

Day trips to Santa’s Lapland leave from many regional airports including London Gatwick and Stansted and there’s so much packed into this special day. From a greeting from your traditionally dressed Lap hosts to a private family meeting with Santa, every moment of the day is filled with magic. Imagine Santa’s reindeer pulling your sleigh across the frozen ground before trying an exhilarating husky sled ride. Then race through the snowy wilderness on a high-powered snowmobile! You’ll all be cosy and warm in thermal suits and boots on loan for the day in this beautiful winter wonderland. What an experience!

If you have a bit more time, then short breaks in Finnish or Swedish Lapland offer lots to do for all ages. From tobogganing outside to enjoying an indoor swimming pool, play areas and activities for the younger members of the family. As well as this there are saunas, spas and steam baths for the adults all set in against an enchanting backdrop of snow and ice. Again, these short breaks fly from nearby Gatwick as well as many other airports and there are half price child places available on some departures where two adults are also travelling.

Santa trips start at £499 per person and provide absolutely unforgettable moments in your child’s life as well as family memories that will last forever for parents and grandparents alike. Departure dates are from late November, but free and half-price child places go quickly so don’t delay!  If you want to remember 2020 for a wonderful festive family experience, then contact the friendly consultants at Spear Travels at 5 Greyhound Walk, Thame or call 01844 217228.
