Imagine landing in Lapland in the morning, meeting Father Christmas in person by lunchtime, and being back home in the UK by evening. That's Let it Snow!: a single day trip that takes your family from the UK to Santa's own doorstep in Swedish Lapland and back again, no overnight stay required.
The excitement starts long before you take off, and it doesn't let up. Once you land in Pajala, you'll be met by your hosts and taken by coach to Santa's hideaway, where you'll change into warm thermal suits and boots ready for the day ahead. From here, a full programme of activities awaits: husky sled rides through the forest, a snowmobile experience across the frozen ground (driven by our experienced guides, with children riding safely alongside), and a traditional reindeer-drawn sleigh gliding through the trees. There's time for snowball fights and building snowmen too, before a hearty hot lunch to keep everyone going.
Then comes the moment you've really travelled for: a private meeting with Father Christmas himself, in his own log cabin, deep in the forest. Bring your letter, tell him what's on your list, and enjoy the kind of moment that stays with a family for years, all in a single, unforgettable day.
If one day in Lapland leaves you wanting more, our Santa short breaks, Dashing Through the Snow, Santa's on His Way, Sleigh Bells Ringing, Snow Is Falling and Wonderful Christmas Time, let you extend the magic over two, three or four nights, staying in traditional Lapland accommodation rather than flying home the same evening. And if the dates for Let it Snow! don't work for your family, our other Santa day trip, Winter Wonderland, flies direct to Enontekio in Finnish Lapland and offers a very similar programme of adventure and Santa magic, so you're likely to find a date that suits.
