Finland Christmas Holidays

The land of Father Christmas is especially magical when on one of our Finland Christmas holidays. Begin your visit in twinkling Helsinki, its streets strung with Christmas lights and windows hung with intricate advent illuminations. Immerse yourself in one of our Finland Christmas holidays with a wander up Aleksanterinkatu and its surrounding streets, for some of the best light displays in the city. This festive esplanade is also home to the Christmas Street Event, where Father Christmas travels from Finnish Lapland and parades through the city with his army of elves. After catching a glimpse of this mystical man, head into Helsinki’s Christmas market where you can enjoy traditional star cookies, honey-baked ham and glögi (Finnish hot wine) around cosy urban bonfires before hopping on the traditional carousel or browsing the quaint shops.

For the ultimate Christmas holiday in Finland, hop on a husky sled or a snowmobile to Finnish Lapland, where you can spend some time with the big man himself. Grab your snowsuits and head out on snowshoes for a walking adventure or seek out the best tobogganing slopes for an Arctic adrenaline kick. End the day in a toasty log cabin, roasting marshmallows on the fire and sipping on hot chocolate or mulled wine, all the while listening out for the jingle bells of Rudolph and his friends.
