Inghams Lapland
From ~£1,079 pp (Santa Breaks) or ~£777 pp (Adventures), indicative, 3+ nights
Indicative price at the time of review.
Inghams brings decades of Alpine and Nordic experience to Lapland, which shows in its choice of five Finnish resorts: Levi, Yllas, Saariselka, Pyha and Muonio. Families who want more than a Santa meeting can base themselves in Levi or Yllas, ski or snowboard on genuine pistes, and add husky sledding, snowmobiling and northern-lights hunts as they please. The Santa Breaks tier keeps the festive magic for younger children, while Lapland Adventures suit tweens and teens who would rather be on a skidoo than a sleigh. Packages cover flights, transfers and accommodation over 3, 4 or 7 nights from many UK airports, with activities added a la carte — great for flexibility, but it means the headline price is not as all-in as Santa's Lapland, and the final bill depends on how many excursions you book.
The good & the bad
Pros
- Five Finnish resorts, including proper ski slopes at Levi and Yllas
- Two tiers let you flex between Santa magic and active adventure
- Choice of 3, 4 or 7-night stays and many UK departure airports
Cons
- Activities are largely add-ons, so the final bill can climb well beyond the lead-in fare
- Less hand-held than a dedicated Santa operator for nervous first-timers
