If you've always fancied taking the family away around Christmas time, it doesn't get more magical than a trip to Lapland in Finland. Better known as Santa's homeland, this winter wonderland is a delight, whatever your age. Think snow-capped forests, roaming reindeer and plenty of festive cheer. Hop on a sleigh to explore the fairytale landscape or enjoy a thrilling ride on a snowmobile. And, of course, your little ones will never forget meeting Santa Claus...
GETTING THERE
TUI offers three and four-night holidays to Lapland, including a stay on Christmas day, with packages that include flights from eight UK airports (it's a three-and-a-half hour journey from London), accommodation and transfers, as well as plenty of extra excursions and activities you can add to your trip.
TUI flies to four airports in Lapland: Kittilä (great for skiers), Rovaniemi (Lapland's capital city), Ivalo (reportedly one of the best places to spot the Northern Lights) and Kuusamo (brilliant for stunning views of snowy forests).
