VISITING Lapland during the festive season is at the top of any child's wish list.
For cash-strapped parents keen to give their little ones the top Santa experience, day trips from the UK are very popular as a 'cheaper' option to the overnight stays (although we appreciate they're still pricey).
Newmarket Holidays' daytrips to Lapland for 2023 are now on sale, and thanks to the relatively cheap price tag they tend to sell out quickly.
The trip will take you 60 miles above the Arctic Circle to the remote heart of Swedish Lapland, where you'll find Pajala – the secret home of the real Santa Claus, his reindeer and his happy team of helpers.
You can take a day trip to Lapland on these specially chartered flightsin December next year.
- Daytrips to Lapland cost from £679 per adult and £599 per child in December 2023 with Newmarket Holidays
