Visit Santa in Lapland! Day Trips from €827pp, 4-Night Lapland Holidays from €1035pp
Dreaming of the ultimate family holiday? From Lapland day trips to 3 and 4 night breaks, these Lapland holidays can make your dream a reality!
It’s been ten years since our magical holiday in Lapland, yet it still feels like it was yesterday. No other trip has left such a lasting impression. Every Christmas, our framed photo with Santa and the handmade decorations from his workshop still hold pride of place beside our tree. Lapland holidays create memories that last a lifetime, that become cherished traditions year after year.
I know a holiday to Lapland can cost about the same as a week in Spain, but ask yourself – which will the kids remember more? Will they tell their own children about that week in Majorca when they were eight? Probably not. But I’m certain my kids will one day share their magical memories of Lapland with their own families. I truly believe that experiences such as snowmobiling, reindeer rides and memories of meeting the ‘Real Santa’, are priceless.
I’ve teamed up with family holiday specialists TUI to showcase just some of the many Lapland holidays from Ireland that are available. I have selected various options below, but If the dates and durations I have chosen don’t suit, or if you have a larger or smaller family, simply edit the search via the links to suit your requirements, or search ALL Lapland holidays here:

A festive dinner on the flight home will complete this magical day, before landing back in Dublin just after 9pm.
