So took the kids last year to Lapland Uk and the DC loved it, this year haven’t booked anything apart from one of those illuminated winter walk ( no Santa, but it’s a different)

Is there any good alternative to Lapland Uk for next year,? Well apart from full on Lapland? We enjoyed it, but I believe it’s the same every year. Sort of regretting not booking it now.

Actual Lapland, of course.

Assuming you're minted 🤣

But actually in all seriousness, the Polar Express is meant to be awesome. Think there's a couple of them.

Polar Express train?

Tell the children that they had their turn to see Santa last year. Other children will have their turn this year.

Not minted alas. Lapland UK pretty pricey so that was enough for my credit card !

We enjoyed the Polar Express last year. That was really good.

i haven’t been to Lapland UK so can’t comment, but would you fancy a festive weekend break at a Center Parcs, or Bluestone in Wales?

Depending on the age / interests of your children, the Harry Potter Forbidden Forrest is good. Not strictly Christmassy, but a great treat for a winter’s evening.
