On Christmas Day, your journey leads into a secluded forest, where a warm and intimate celebration awaits. Together with the elves, you’ll decorate the Christmas tree, choosing your favourite ornaments from baskets filled with festive treasures. Then warm up with drinks by the fire before sitting down to a beautifully prepared Christmas dinner.

Then someone very special returns to the Secret Forest. Santa Claus joins the celebration after his long Christmas Eve journey, with personal, unhurried time to meet each family.

As the evening draws to a close, gather beneath the Arctic sky for one final moment with Santa Claus. He bids you a warm farewell before making his way quietly back into the Secret Forest.

And in that moment, you’ll understand what Christmas is really about.
