Lapland Day TRip

Lapland Day Trip Mum & Son Magical Festive Day out….. Our adventure began on the 23rd December 2022 when I surprised my youngest Olly with a day trip to Lapland as you can imagine he was so excited, it was an early start. On being greeted at the airport for Santas magic flight this was when every little magical moment began. Our flight from Manchester was approx. 2 hours and was filled with festive fun activities and food. The approach to Lapland and views where breath taking (amazes me how they can land a plane in such snowy icy conditions when the roads in the UK grind to a halt in this type of weather) After disembarking the plane we where greeted by some cheeky naughty elves who took us straight away to get us fully dressed in the thermal snowsuits, gloves and boots all provided. Then our coach transfer took us out on the search for Santa. On arriving at Santa’s Village we had to pinch ourselves on how magical it was, my son was straight away throwing snowballs creating snow angels, we first entered the igloos with some amazing ice sculptures and of course the ice bar (of course mum had to have a cheeky glass of fizz) We began to explore further where we found the reindeers, huskies, sledging and football activities and of course the all important snowmobile stop to go deep into the woods to find Santa where all the children receive a gift from Santa and there are hot mulled wines served around a roaring camp fire. We took part in all activities husky rides, reindeer rides, snowmobile rides. It was truly an unforgettable experience a memory that I know with live with my son for the rest of his life. Before heading back to the airport we could enjoy plenty of time playing in the snow and a nice hotel meal and hot chocolate before our journey home. Also before departure we visited the shop and bought our usual fridge magnet (we collect these every holiday) and our cuddly husky. I was blown away with then experience, views and atmosphere worth every single penny and a must do before your children grow up too much. It was a full busy enjoyable day and my son was fast asleep after all the excitement before we took off back to Manchester.
