Day 1 – Let the magic begin! Off to enchanting Lapland The adventure starts with one of the most exciting journeys of the year. At the airport, the #SantaClausinLapland team will be there to assist with check-in and ensure everything is ready for your direct flight to Kuusamo, in the heart of Finnish Lapland. An onboard snack is included. Upon arrival, our local guide welcomes us, and in just 10 minutes, we arrive at the warm and family-friendly Holiday Club Tropiikki, nestled between Kuusamo and Ruka. After check-in, a delicious dinner awaits at the hotel restaurant. The adventure has just begun—and it already feels magical.
Day 2 – Arctic adventure: Snowmobiles, snowy fun, and endless laughter Buffet breakfast to start the day. We’ll collect our thermal suits, essential for enjoying Lapland in comfort. Then, we dive into one of the most thrilling experiences of the trip: a snowmobile safari through snowy forests and frozen lakes. Adults ride in pairs on the snowmobiles, while the little ones travel safely in a sleigh led by a professional guide.
After the ride, we head to the nearby Rukan Salonki, where illuminated snowy hills await—perfect for sledding, giant snow tubes, traditional Finnish kick-sledges, and even a spinning ice carousel. After lunch, it's time for one of the kids’ favorite moments: a visit to the Angry Birds Park, an indoor paradise filled with ball pits, pedal karts, video games, and plenty of surprises. Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel.
Day 3 – Beneath the ice: Snowshoeing, ice fishing, and tropical spa time After a hearty breakfast buffet, we set out on an immersive nature experience. Wearing snowshoes, we head to a frozen lake where a local fisherman greets us inside a traditional laavu. We’ll learn the art of ice fishing using a “kaira,” the special tool to drill holes in the ice. With some luck, we may catch perch or pike, common in the region. After a light lunch, we return to the hotel for an afternoon of pure relaxation in the tropical spa, surrounded by exotic plants, warm pools, and resting areas for the entire family. An oasis in the snowy north. Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 4 – The most magical day: Meet #SantaClausinLapland in Vuotunki Buffet breakfast. Today brings one of the most emotional moments of the journey: the meeting with Santa Claus. We travel to the charming village of Vuotunki, next to a frozen lake where nature has created perfect snow slides for children—and grown-ups—to enjoy. Inside a cozy cottage, a cheerful elf welcomes us and guides us to the living room where we’ll meet the real #SantaClausinLapland. Mrs. Claus, a master baker, will show us how to make homemade Christmas cookies, which we’ll bake in a traditional wood-fired oven. Each child receives a personal gift from Santa himself. After lunch, enjoy free time for a traditional Finnish sauna or ski a few runs at Ruka Ski Resort, where illuminated slopes stay open from October to May. Dinner and overnight at the hotel.
Day 5 – Huskies, reindeer, and sleigh rides: The spirit of Lapland Buffet breakfast. Today we dive into the cultural heart of Lapland. We start by visiting a husky farm, where the joyful barking of the dogs marks the start of an exciting morning. After a brief lesson, you'll drive your own husky sled through snow-covered landscapes—an experience of speed, silence, and deep connection with nature. A warm drink awaits in a traditional Sami kota tent before we continue to a reindeer farm. There, these gentle animals take us on a peaceful sleigh ride, while their Sami herders share ancient stories passed down for generations. In the afternoon, relax at the hotel or join an optional excursion: snow karting and mini snowmobiles—pure adrenaline for teens (14+) and guaranteed fun for children (ages 4 to 11). Dinner and overnight stay.
Day 6 – Farewell, Lapland: Memories to treasure forever After your final breakfast buffet in Lapland, there’s time for one last experience: a relaxing session in a traditional Finnish sauna, the perfect way to say goodbye to this magical land. At the scheduled time, transfer to Kuusamo Airport, check-in, and board your direct flight back to Spain. An onboard snack is included. The adventure ends, but the memories made with #SantaClausinLapland will stay with you forever.
A Journey to Lapland That Will Stay in Your Heart Forever After six unforgettable days in the heart of Finnish Lapland, what we take home is more than just photos—it's a collection of shared emotions, magical moments, and memories that will last a lifetime. This wasn’t just a holiday; it was a once-in-a-lifetime experience that brought our family closer together. We explored snow-covered landscapes, drove sleds pulled by huskies and reindeer, fished on frozen lakes, slid down natural snow slides, and relaxed in Finnish saunas and tropical spas. But above all, we witnessed the sparkle in our children’s eyes as they met the real Santa Claus—the one and only #SantaClausinLapland. The regions of Kuusamo and Ruka offered us a version of Lapland that felt truly magical yet perfectly tailored for families: safe, accessible, and authentically enchanting. From the moment we arrived at the cozy Holiday Club Tropiikki, we knew we were in the right place. A family-friendly resort surrounded by nature, perfectly located, and full of activities for all ages. While the kids explored the exciting world of the Angry Birds Park, the adults enjoyed the pleasure of ending a snowy day in a traditional Finnish sauna.
Each day wrote a new chapter in our family story:
-
The thrill of riding snowmobiles across frozen lakes.
-
The amazement of learning how to ice fish with traditional tools.
-
The warmth of sharing a hot drink inside a Sami kota.
-
And the heart-melting joy of watching the little ones bake cookies with Mrs. Claus, just before hugging Santa in his secret forest cabin.
This Lapland holiday with kids was much more than just a winter getaway. It was a transformational experience—a trip organized from Spain, with every detail planned to ensure a stress-free, magical Christmas full of joy, wonder, and family connection. Here, screens fade into the background, and time is measured not in hours, but in moments that matter: in laughter, in play, in quiet snowfalls, in the wonder of those first flakes landing softly on a thermal suit. If you've ever dreamed of living a storybook Christmas, this journey makes it real. Lapland is the perfect destination for Spanish families looking to create memories, connect with each other, and experience something truly magical. Because with #SantaClausinLapland, magic is real—you can see it, feel it, and live it. And what you bring home isn’t just a souvenir… it’s a family story that will last forever.
