The Magic of Christmas in Lapland

Lapland, a place where the spirit of Christmas isn’t just alive for a day, but thrives all winter long. The official home of Santa and a true winter wonderland.

Located in the Arctic Circle, every winter Lapland transforms into a real-life snow globe. The landscape is blanketed with a layer of pristine white snow, broken only by the pine trees that sparkle in the soft arctic light, this is where Christmas begins. But Lapland’s Christmas magic extends beyond Santa. The region’s indigenous Sami people add their own unique traditions to the festivities. Their colourful clothing, reindeer herding culture, and ancient stories add depth to the Christmas experience. 

As night falls, the Northern Lights ignite the sky in a beautiful dance, while you sit, sipping hot chocolate in a cosy igloo. From husky sledding through snowy forests to warming up in traditional Finnish saunas, Christmas in Lapland offers a truly magical experience that captures the essence of the season like nowhere else on Earth.
