  • Climate: In December, temperatures in Lapland normally range between -7°c and -35°c. Snowfall can be heavy at this time. Daylight is limited to between 10.30 and 14.00, with long periods of twilight either side of night.
  • Clothing: Whilst thermal suits and boots are provided free for the duration of your stay, you are advised to bring layers of thermal and fleeced clothing to wear underneath when you are outdoors. Several layers of clothing provide better insulation from the cold than one or two thick items. Balaclavas, face masks and extra warm headgear are also suggested. The heating in hotels and Catered Christmas Cabins is extremely efficient so lighter clothing is required indoors.
  • Customer Exclusive: Little Skiers are offering Santa’s Lapland customers, exclusive discount codes of up to 15%. For essential thermals, silk balaclavas & hand warmers simply choose the bronze package. If you are looking for extras, choose the discount codes which apply to everything.

3 Day Breaks » 4 Day Breaks »
  • A Meeting with Santa (me) in my secret log-cabin home in the woods. I guarantee a private meeting for every family and not a meeting in a restaurant with a coach-load of other families.
  • My Elves & Igloo Fantasia I want to tell you about a very special Santa Secret. I have had my helpers build, just for you, two enchanting Igloos, hidden in the forest and never before seen by anyone.
  • Reindeer sleigh-ride.I offer a proper 7-10 minute ride through the snowy winter woods, not a 2-minute ‘taster’ ride going around and around a small looped track.
  • Husky-sled-ride. My unforgettable ride is approx. 15-minutes and is not a 2-minute ‘taster’ ride, being driven around a short circular route.
  • Snowmobile ride. When you come to visit me, everyone gets to ride behind a snowmobile during our ‘Search for Santa’, and mini skidoos are available for the children.
  • The resort experience. I believe in the true spirit of a Lapland Christmas, with our full-length activities held in magical woodland wilderness locations. I am not so keen on commercialised centres where you may end up killing time in charmless gift-shops and grottos!
  • Places to stay. I have chosen three and four-diamond hotels with excellent facilities and food, and also my own Santa’s Christmas Cabins.  Beware of others that offer one or two-star business-style hotels.
  • My resort helpers. I chose Esprit to run my special Lapland trips as their dedicated and professional resort team will make sure that your break runs magically for all the family! Some companies just use part-time local agents.
  • Child Prices. It is the children that really want to see me so I have thousands of FREE Child Places and many other magically low prices for them.
  • Travel arrangements. Saariselkä is only 25 minutes from Ivalo Airport whereas other companies travel up to 2 hours by coach to and from the resort.
