If you’ve ever wanted to live out your most festive Christmas fantasy, you need to buy a ticket to Lapland today. Lapland is a province in northern Finland, and every year people from around the world are drawn to their Santa Claus Village – a theme park centered around Santa Claus!

You can stay in the Santa Claus Village in a tiny cottage, or spring for a night in a hotel made of glass, so you can watch the northern lights dance overhead.
