On Christmas Eve, 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. Warm drinks by the fire and a beautifully prepared Christmas feast complete the celebration.
During your time in the forest, Santa Claus arrives to join the celebration. Each family has their own personal, unhurried time with Santa before his journey begins.
Then it’s time for the final preparations. Help place the last gifts onto Santa’s sleigh and make sure everything is ready for his journey around the world.
When the moment finally comes, everyone gathers to send Santa Claus on his journey into the Christmas night. Not many can say they helped Christmas begin.
