Santa’s Summer News

While many people are thinking about their summer holiday and getting away to lay ona beach of play in the sun my elves and I are working hard through the summer in preparation for December and our future guests.

Typical Santa's Christmas Cabin InteriorThis year Esprit has added my Christmas Cabins to their finest selection of accommodation on offer for my guests to stay in. All Christmas cabins have a Christmas tree in the lounge for the home from home Christmas atmosphere.

Settle down by the open log fire after spending an exciting day taking part in all of the activities included in a Santa’s Lapland break from Husky sledding to Snow hockey or Sleigh rides to Ice fishing, the warmth of the fire at the end of the day is a perfect way to relax with the family and reflect.

Dinner in Santa's Christmas CabinsAll cabins include breakfast, lunch (on Search for Santa day) and 3 course evening meal as well as complimentary wine with evening meals (1 bottle per couple each evening).

If the children still have energy to burn there is always the Free use of toboggans at the Christmas Cabins to keep them entertained…

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.
