Recently back from a magical family holiday in Lapland, Fay, our Braintree Branch Manager shares her incredible experience and top tips to help you plan your perfect Christmas 2025 adventure.

While Christmas may have just passed, now is the ideal time to book your Lapland getaway—availability goes fast!

𝙒𝙝𝙮 𝘾𝙝𝙤𝙤𝙨𝙚 𝙇𝙖𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨?
Lapland is the ultimate winter wonderland, offering breath-taking snowy landscapes, enchanting Santa experiences, and thrilling activities for the whole family. Whether it’s a private family meeting with Santa, a reindeer sleigh ride, or witnessing the Northern Lights, Lapland is a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗮𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆

✔ Book a Reindeer Sleigh Ride – A peaceful journey through the snowy, magical woods was the highlight of Fay’s trip.

✔ Exclusive Santa Visit – Opt for a package that includes a unique, personal meeting with Santa in a remote lodge.

✔ Book Early – Fay secured her holiday a year in advance to get the perfect dates and package. Availability disappears quickly!

✔ Make It a Surprise! – Revealing the trip on the day made it even more magical for Fay’s children.

✔ Pack Marshmallows – Fire pits are common, but marshmallows can be hard to find. Bring your own for a cosy treat!

✔ Dress Warmly – Most travel packages include snow suits, but don’t forget thick socks, thermals, extra waterproof gloves, and hats.
