More than 28,000 Brits will head to the home of Father Christmas with Tui over the festive season, with services operating from six of the airline and operator’s bases.

Flights will get under way on Wednesday (30 November) from Birmingham, Bristol, Gatwick, Glasgow, Manchester and Newcastle.

Day trippers will visit Kittilas snow village, complete with ice hotel, sculptures and ice bar, before a sleigh ride, snowmobile ride and traditional Lappish story time.

Guests will also get to meet Father Christmas himself at his grotto, feed his reindeer, make Christmas cookies, and have time to play in the slow.

Richard Sofer, Tui UK commercial and business development director, said: “To be sending more people away than ever on an unforgettable trip this winter brings us such joy.

"Lapland has always been an important destination for us, and even more so because we know the memories made on a trip like that last a lifetime. Families plan all year for their magical trips to Lapland with dreams of meeting Santa, husky sleighing and feeding the reindeer.

"We make sure their dreams are a reality and our Christmas elves, as ever, are on hand to help make sure they experience the magical wonders of Lapland."
