Overview

For a truly unforgettable festive period visit one of the world’s most naturally magical destinations, Swedish Lapland. With experiences to cater for all tastes, including opportunities to witness the northern lights, this beautiful region has all the answers for a unique festive celebration.

For couples or friends travelling together, what better way to celebrate than to spend Christmas or New Year somewhere that boasts picture-perfect winter scenery as well as the breathtaking Icehotel? Exquisitely sculpted art suites and ice art provide the otherworldly atmosphere and a host of winter activities amidst the snow-laden wilderness bring the fun.

Family festive fun in Swedish Lapland might centre around the chance for a private meeting with Father Christmas. Our Santa trips have been thoughtfully designed to create a magical Christmas wonderland for both you and your children.

It’s not just about where you go, but how you experience it. I’m here to turn that trip into an adventure you’ll cherish.

Nature’s own Christmas lights

Don’t forget to keep a look out for the northern lights dancing overhead, nature’s very own light show. Perhaps combine a festive Icehotel stay with a visit to the unspoilt wilderness of Abisko National Park, widely regarded as one of the best places to see the northern lights. Take the chair lift to the Aurora Sky Station for optimum viewing. The large outside deck area is ideal for aurora spotting and inside you can relax and warm up by a log fire at the inviting restaurant.

Our festive collection in Swedish Lapland also includes breaks on the stunning Lulea Archipelago, staying at Brandon Lodge overlooking the frozen sea of Bothnia Bay.

Whichever of these breaks suits you best, with limited departures over the festive period, book your holiday early to guarantee a white Christmas or sparkling New Year in a true winter wonderland.
