Everything About Our Christmas Journeys to the Polar Regions

Do you have questions about Christmas and the pre-Christmas season at the Arctic Circle or even in Antarctica? Our expert team knows everything in detail and is always ready to assist you personally.

How is Christmas Eve celebrated in Antarctica?

Even in Antarctica, Christmas Eve is celebrated festively: Many ships decorate their lounges with fairy lights and small trees, the crew prepares a festive dinner with classic dishes, and there are moments to sing, toast, and enjoy together. The special atmosphere surrounded by icebergs, penguins, and silent wilderness makes Christmas here a unique experience one will never forget.

Can you see the sun on Christmas Eve in Scandinavia?

Around the winter solstice, the sun does not rise at the Arctic Circle, so there are no bright days. Still, travelers enjoy several hours of twilight with fascinating blue and violet shades, creating magical winter moods. At the same time, the chances of seeing northern lights are excellent, as the sky stays dark, and many guests experience the aurora borealis especially vividly on Christmas Eve.

Is there a chance to really meet Santa Claus?

Yes, in Rovaniemi there is a large Christmas village that attracts many visitors each year. Even more atmospheric, however, are our smaller partner programs: In deeply snow-covered log cabins, a private encounter is arranged where parents can hand over gifts in advance, which are then given by Santa himself. For children this becomes a one-of-a-kind experience that feels far more authentic than the larger tourist sites.

What kind of dishes are served at Christmas Holidays?

In many lodges, Christmas means regional specialties such as reindeer, fish, or game combined with festive side dishes, giving guests a taste of local cuisine. On simpler wilderness tours the menu depends on the guide, who carries all supplies, making it simpler but no less heartfelt. In both settings one feels that Christmas is a special occasion, also celebrated in culinary style.

When is Christmas celebrated in the North?

Although the sun does not rise, there is a magical twilight that colors the landscape softly during the day. The actual celebrations take place as usual in the evening, when lodges or camps are lit warmly, and a festive dinner is served. Many guests say that the long darkness makes Christmas in the far north even more atmospheric than at home.

Can gifts be arranged in remote camps?

Yes, that is possible with early planning. Many guests bring small presents, keepsakes, or special drinks themselves to surprise their loved ones. In remote camps there are no shopping facilities, so wrapping paper and small tokens should be prepared before departure. Some lodges also prepare little surprises for their guests, ensuring that even far away from civilization, Christmas joy is felt.

Christmas under the Northern Lights: A Family Adventure in the Polar World!

Experience Christmas holidays with your family beneath the magical glow of the northern lights. This special journey takes you into an enchanting world where the auroras illuminate the sky and create unforgettable moments for young and old alike. You and your loved ones will stay in cozy, family-friendly accommodations, from where you can explore the snowy beauty of the Arctic landscape.

Learn how to light a traditional campfire and enjoy bread on a stick and hot chocolate under the winter sky. On Christmas Eve, a festive dinner awaits you, followed by peaceful moments beneath sparkling stars and dancing northern lights. A Christmas filled with magic, adventure, and precious family time!

Wilderness Tours at Christmas: From Cabin to Cabin Through the Winter Landscape

On wilderness tours at Christmas, you experience raw, untouched nature up close. You hike from cabin to cabin through snowy forests and across frozen lakes, surrounded by the peaceful silence of the winter wilderness. Along the way, you learn how to navigate the snowy landscape, read tracks in the snow, and find your way in nature. Each night you stay in a different cozy cabin, where you can relax by the crackling fireplace, enjoy regional specialties, and share the day’s experiences with your fellow travelers. In the evenings, you may even have the chance to admire the clear starry sky or the magical northern lights. Besides hiking, you can also try other winter activities such as ice fishing, snowshoeing, or cross-country skiing. This journey combines adventure, reflection, and a deep connection to nature – the perfect way to spend Christmas in a truly unique way.

Northern Lights at Christmas: Harness the Huskies and Off You Go!

On your Christmas journey into the world of huskies, you gain valuable knowledge in handling these impressive sled dogs. You learn how to care for them, provide for them, and prepare them for the ride. Once the dogs are harnessed, your magical tour begins through the snowy, idyllic winter landscape. You glide over frozen rivers and explore the breathtaking variety of Lapland’s nature. After an eventful day, you return to your cozy lodging, where a warm meal and a relaxing sauna await. In good company, you can share experiences with fellow travelers. You also have the chance to enjoy Nordic winter activities such as snowshoeing, ice fishing, reindeer safaris, and snowmobile rides – a stress-free blend of adventure and relaxation in the far north.

Into the Christmas Wonderland with Huskies and Reindeer

On your Christmas vacation with huskies in Scandinavia, Canada, or Alaska, you will learn how to handle the sled dogs, take care of them, and prepare them for the ride. Then your adventure begins through the snowy surroundings of these impressive regions. Cross frozen rivers and discover the untouched nature of the northern countries. In the evening, your cozy accommodation awaits with a warm dinner and perhaps a visit to the sauna. In a relaxed circle with the other participants, you can reflect on the day. Explore more activities of the north such as snowshoeing, ice fishing, reindeer safaris, or snowmobile tours – all at ease and without hurry. A Christmas holiday that perfectly combines adventure, nature, and reflection.

Northern Lights Instead of Christmas Lights: Aurora Borealis – A Magical Highlight

Keep your eyes open during this unique winter holiday in the deep snowy north, as you might witness one of the fairy-tale northern lights, also known as the aurora borealis. These stunning natural phenomena remain unforgettable. Book a husky sledding tour at Christmas, whether alone, with your partner, or with the whole family, and enjoy magical days in the far north. The holiday including husky sledding tours is an experience for adults of all ages and also for children.

Leave everyday life behind and embark on this enchanting journey. Remember to book early, as Christmas dates are often sold out as early as summer.
