Experience the Christmas atmosphere in Rovaniemi this winter. A bus drive away will take you to a hidden place in the woods out of town. Here lives a reindeer herder together with the mother of the woods, the Forest Queen and the man in red, Santa Claus, in their own secret little wooden house.
You will be taken on a fairy journey to meet the characters and enter a magical Christmas place! Upon arrival you are warmly welcomed by the host, the Forest Queen, so let’s follow her to a candle lit path in to an adventure.
The Forest Queen gives you Christmassy tasks to complete:
Fairy task 1 - Find the secret house of Santa Claus and meet him in person, remember to bring your letter with you! Santa has a small gift for all children.
Fairy task 2 - Decorate crunchy gingerbread cookies in a cozy and warm wooden house. Eat all straight away or bring it home as a gift!
Fairy task 3 - Try a reindeer sleigh ride, close your eyes, and imagine you fly like Santa does!
Fairy task 4 - Write your deepest wish and hang it in on the “Christmas tree of the wishes”, because Lapland is where the magic happens!
Fairy task 5 - Taste the local and traditional Lappish Christmas porridge made of rice and delicious hot berry juice to fill your belly in between the adventures.
During that magical day you can also enjoy fun in the snow: several family outdoor activities such as tobogganing, kick sledding, mini-snowmobile for children and much more awaits for all little adventurers!
After sharing some great family time, all minds full of experiences, you return to your hotel with wonderful Christmas memories!
