TUI expands One-Day Lapland Trips for winter 2026 with more UK Airports and festive in-flight touches

TUI UK&I will relaunch its popular “Search for Santa” Lapland day trips in Winter 2026, giving families the chance to fly to Kittilä, Finland, enjoy a full day of Arctic adventures, and return home the same night. The programme will now operate from 11 UK and Irish airports, including new departures from Cardiff and the return of Bournemouth services for the first time since 2019.

Priced from £750 per person, the package includes:

• Return flights with meals, including a roast Christmas dinner on the flight home.
• A private meeting with Santa Claus and a gift for each child.
• Access to the Snow Village with snow activities such as husky and reindeer sleigh rides, children’s mini skidoo rides, tobogganing, snowmobiling, and Arctic storytelling.
• Thermal clothing, a hot lunch in Santa’s Village, and all transfers in Lapland.

The detailed itinerary also features snow play, campfire, berry juice, and festive experiences led by Santa’s elves.

Chris Logan, TUI UK&I Commercial Director, said the trips are designed to make it “easier than ever for families across the UK to experience the magic of Lapland,” offering both convenience and memorable festive experiences.
