Has anyone stayed at CenterParcs over Christmas?

[PoptartPoptart]

Just looking for any experience with this - positives and negatives!
We’ve been to CP’s several times a few years ago when the DC we’re younger but never over the Christmas period.
I’m just so fed up of Christmas at home and the idea of being able to go swimming/do activities etc with the preteens/young teens to keep them entertained is appealing.
I know the prices are extortionate btw!
Has anyone spent Christmas Eve/Christmas day/Boxing Day at CP’s?

I have. It's magical and I thoroughly recommend it!

Did you cook Christmas dinner in the villa or go out to eat?
Is everything open on Christmas Day/Boxing Day (bowling, swimming etc)?

Oddly enough I've just priced it up. They want £50 for a Christmas tree.
I'm looking at it for the same reasons as you, would be interesting to know how much is open on Christmas Day

@allice. Can I be nosy and ask what your rough costings are?

Accommodation costs start at 1250 for a 2 bed place from the 23rd to 27th. I'd anticipate spending on average £100 a day on food and activities for the 4 of us
