On Christmas Day, your journey leads into a secluded forest where a warm and intimate celebration awaits. Together with the elves, you will decorate a Christmas tree, selecting your favourite ornaments from baskets filled with festive treasures, share warm drinks by the fire, and enjoy a beautifully prepared festive dinner.

During your time in the forest, Santa Claus arrives to join the celebration, meeting each family in a personal, unhurried moment.
