I just booked a Tui package, I can’t be bothered with all the DIY stuff.

Have you been on it yet? I absolutely want to book a package but can’t decide on which resort or company.
I’m tempted by the TUI Package but I think the dates for me were better with Canterbury but then they were more expensive. Canterbury offer full length activities whereas TUI don’t but then I don’t want full length snowmobile anyway. So I then start looking elsewhere such as Santas Lapland or Ingram’s and well my brain then goes
Carly Elizabeth has just been there, and on her return went through whether she had needed the things she thought she would, and what experiences had been worth it.
I remember her saying the children had just loved just sledging in the snow, rather than the more expensive things.
I think Carly's was a TUI package.
I think Carly's package has taster sessions built into it so you could try various things.Have you been on it yet? I absolutely want to book a package but can’t decide on which resort or company.

I’ve booked it for this Christmas, Canterbury were out for me anyway not only due to cost but they don’t fly from my airport.Have you been on it yet? I absolutely want to book a package but can’t decide on which resort or company.

I read lots of reviews and the Tui ones consistently alms out good. The taster sessions seem to be enough for young children, and you can have more than one go too. My plan is to see if they really enjoy any of the tasters and maybe book a full one whilst there.
I also chose Levi over Rovaneimi after many many late night deep dives

my head is in a spin from the research like you - many late night dives. It sounds daft but with a summer style package holiday I know I’ll have another so if this one was a bit meh there’s always next year. But this will be a once in a lifetime experience so I want it to be right.
Tbh I was leaning towards the TUI package as I feel taster sessions are enough. The Canterbury seemed too ‘full on’ but then Canterbury just seemed to pip them to the post on dates but then it was different locations
Thanks, I didn’t think of checking out YouTube
It was a once in a lifetime for Carly and she's been wanting to go for ages.
She seems quite an organised person so seems to have really thought about it, but even so she found that the simple things were the best.
Ive been, we booked through Santa's Lapland, but we looked in to Canterbury and Inghams too.
That feeling of disorientation is completely understandable. It takes real strength to hold onto hope and it’s okay to acknowledge how hard that is. Try to take it moment by moment. Perhaps a Christmas retake, which is less about recreating the exact day and more about the small quiet pieces of the season you missed. Making the cookies you didn't have time for, watching a movie, small dinner. There are no rules.
Love thisBought 2 Christmas presents today!
I’m going big Sainsburys tomorrow, excited for the saleCan't believe it's only been 2 weeks since Christmas. Feels more like 2 months
I’m with you on this
. It’s been one hell of a January for me already and we are only on day 9. I can’t wait for this Christmas already. X
I wrote this on the last thread but we went to Lapland in 2024, end of November for 3 nights and paid £509 each and that was for hotel and flights.
Sounds like a good deal - I'm further on in December for the vines and I know the prices rocket then
I popped into Sainsbury’s last night and they had mince pies for 35p, gingerbread custard creams for 7p, Irish cream Lindors for £2 and Starbucks toffee nut coffee pods for a £1. There was more but I can’t remember everything!Love this
The home bits hadn’t been reduced further but they’re already 50-75% off I think. Happy shopping!
Barely any trace of Christmas at my nearest big Sainsburys, except the stacks of drinks that are too heavy to move.
Did watch one woman empty the shelves of reduced Christmas dog products though. Don't even know if what she chose was good because she snagged them all. Got a couple of fancy chutneys and the last tiramisu nuts mix. £1.25? I will, thanks.
