Winter Wonderland Three Night Santa Trip
This three-night Winter Wonderland Santa trip is an ideal choice for Irish families looking to experience the true magic of Lapland. Based in the heart of the lively Levi Village, you will stay at the 3-star Break Sokos Hotel, a comfortable and vibrant base located 170km north of the Arctic Circle. This holiday is an organised Escorted Tour designed to take the stress out of festive planning, with everything from direct flights from Dublin to essential thermal clothing included in your package.
Your adventure begins the moment you land at Kittilä airport. After being fitted with your thermal suits and boots, you will be transferred to your hotel to settle in. The following days are packed with traditional Arctic experiences. You will venture into the snowy wilderness for reindeer sleigh rides and exhilarating husky dog sledging, where the dogs are eager to show off their speed. For those who enjoy a bit more action, there is a snowmobile safari and plenty of time for tobogganing on the local slopes.
The central highlight of this Winter Wonderland Santa trip is the private family meeting with Santa Claus. Before you meet him, children can immerse themselves in the world of the elves at Elf School. Here, they can decorate gingerbread in the bakery, tour the elves’ house, and see the busy Post Office where letters from all over the world are sorted. It is a factual and heartwarming programme that ensures every family member sees the hard-working elves in action.
On the third day, the itinerary visits the incredible Snow Village. This structure is reconstructed every winter using over 20 million kilos of snow and 350,000 kilos of crystal-clear natural ice. You can explore a vast network of corridors filled with intricate ice artwork, visit the Ice Restaurant, and see the Ice Chapel. Back at the hotel, you can relax in the sauna before enjoying a festive dinner. With meals provided as per the itinerary and booking advice from your advisor at Travel Escapes, this trip offers excellent value for a family holiday. The direct flight home to Dublin is just over three hours, making the return journey straightforward for travellers of all ages.
