The Northern Lights, reindeers and guaranteed snow. Lapland is EVERYTHING for Christmasphiles.

You can have dinner in an igloo, meet the local Sami people, go ice fishing and fall into a cuddle-puddle of huskies. But Lapland is most famous for being the home of a certain jolly chap...

Go for... SANTA!!

Anyone that wants to chill with Santa knows he lives in Lapland.

Santa Claus’ Village, 8km from Rovaniemi the main town in Finnish Lapland, is a Christmassy wonderland filled with elves, reindeer and overly excited folk of all ages. Sit on the big man's knee to find out if you’ve been good enough to get that Xmas Bonus.

Other good stuff

‘There’s Dasher and Dancer, Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid, Donner and -’ There’s a whole lot of reindeer in Lapland. Spot them roaming around… all over the goddam place. Or strap in for a sleigh ride. That one at the front has a suspiciously red nose.

In Lapland, the Northern Lights shimmer every other clear night between September and March, meaning the odds are FINALLY in your favour to see these natural beauties. Head away from city lights to spot them painting their way across the night sky.
