Day 2, Kuhmo
Begin this morning with guided city tour covering iconic sites, nature, history, and Finnish culture.
Afterwards, enjoy some time to shop or visit a local cafe before returning to the hotel for lunch.
Later in the afternoon, an eagerly awaited encounter awaits as we meet Santa Claus, known as Joulupukki in Finnish tradition. Here, bake gingerbread, make Christmas decorations and meet elves along the way! Children can share their Christmas wishes and secrets with Santa during this magical visit. As the day winds down, we return to our hotel for dinner and the chance to unwind in the onsite saunas and jacuzzis.

Day 3, Kuhmo
This morning, we journey across the picturesque snowy landscape of Kuhmo.
The day takes a festive turn as we embark on a special experience: venturing out to fetch our Christmas tree. Once back at the restaurant, we'll join together to decorate it, a cherished tradition where children play a significant role in bringing the tree to life.
In Finland, decorating the Christmas tree is a momentous duty, and today, our group will continue this heartwarming tradition. Lunch will feature Christmas rice porridge, a beloved and traditional dish across Scandinavia during this joyous season. In Finland, the rice porridge holds a special place, especially for the children, as finding the hidden almond promises a prize.
