As awkward questions go, “Is Father Christmas real?” is up there with some of the worst. So when my seven-year-old son Elliott blurts it out on the packed flight en route to Rovaniemi in Finland – …
After settling in, we walk to Huttuhippu restaurant five minutes away, where we’ll have breakfast and a three-course dinner each evening.
The kids brave the sautéed reindeer too, served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam, and it is a surprising hit. A coach transfer takes us to a snowy, rustic cabin for some games with the elves, which the kids love.We had “just missed” the man himself, but we stumble across his helper, Snowy Bowy.In the most magical experience, an elf working away in the post office suddenly finds Elliott’s under a pile of post.Sipping hot berry juice beside a wood fire, we learn all about the dogs and get to pet a particularly friendly one before taking the reins.
After a warming lunch of meatballs and mash in a log-cabin restaurant in Luosto, we head to the middle of the forest for the main event.We catch sight of a huge wooden house and are greeted by the elves.You can guess what comes next! Elliott’s face when he claps eyes on Father Christmas will stay with me forever.
