Animatronic reindeer heads lean from shuttered windows, mouths open as if singing, in a wooden hut festooned with garlands and red-gold ornaments, set among trees with string lights.

Family Christmas activities

  • Group of five adults and one child walk, chatting, under glowing archways on a forest path at night; trees sparkle with white lights. Text overhead: Santa's Wonderland Village.
  • Person dressed as Santa Claus waves while standing in an illuminated red sleigh; wrapped gifts behind. Nighttime outdoor scene with spotlight and dark trees. Winter Wonderland
  • Marshmallows on wooden skewers roast over glowing charcoal on a metal grate, with blurred bokeh lights in the background, indicating an indoor or nighttime setting.
  • Man and girl sip hot drinks and smile at a wooden picnic table, wearing winter hats and coats, inside a rustic tent café with other patrons in background. Text: SUPERDRY.
  • Mushroom-shaped playhouse shelters a person peering through its round doorway, surrounded by snow-dusted firs and twinkling string lights in a nighttime forest display with purple and pink illumination.

Santa's Woodland Village

Follow the snow-covered paths and twinkling lights to discover Santa’s Woodland Village. It’s included in the cost of your break and you can visit as often as you like. Make magical memories as you:

  • Step into our Snow Zone and get a fun family photo in the giant snow globe as the snow falls around you
  • Say hello to Santa and his elves in their Woodland Workshop, with pre-bookable slots until Christmas Eve
  • Sing along to your favourite festive tunes with our famous singing reindeer
  • Meet playful elves who can’t wait to show off their dance moves and magic tricks
  • Warm up with festive drinks and treats at the Forest Festive Fayre (UK only)
  • Child runs toward camera, smiling, on a forest path. Glowing orange light installations hang from trees and line the walkway, creating a festive, dusk-lit atmosphere among tall woods.
  • Vertical LED tubes glow, hanging suspended and illuminating a nighttime forest. Small lights sparkle along shrubs and a winding path among tall pines under a deep-blue sky.
  • Family group walks, bundled in winter coats, along a night forest path; children smiling as adults guide them, surrounded by hanging glowing light tubes and decorative butterfly lanterns on trees.

The Enchanted Light Garden

This festive season we’re lighting up the forest with our spectacular Enchanted Light Garden. Watch the little ones look up in awe as you wander through twinkling lights nestled between the trees and the forest floor. Lose yourself in a magical winter wonderland, surrounded by festive tunes that will have you jingling and dancing along. You can visit every evening of your break. 

Roast turkey slices with gravy sit on a plate, accompanied by potatoes, stuffing, pigs-in-blankets, and greens, presented on a wooden table amid Christmas lights, pine branches, and a champagne flute.

Christmas Lunch

Hang up your cooking apron and head to one of our restaurants for a traditional Christmas Lunch with all the trimmings. With special children’s menus, little ones can enjoy festive food on the big day too.

 

Discover Christmas Lunch 

  • Child slides feet-first, arms raised, smiling, down a bright-blue water slide, splashing water. Context: indoor water park with sunlight through glass and surrounding plants along the slide.
  • Child rides down a water slide, arms raised and mouth open, splashing into shallow water; another child follows behind; white slide runs alongside a stone wall in bright outdoor light.
  • Smiling toddler wearing a green life vest leans back and splashes into shallow water after descending a small wooden slide inside an indoor water park.
  • Inflatable raft carries four riders, splashing and leaning as they descend through a curving enclosed waterslide; teal-tinted light and white panels illuminate the smooth cylindrical tunnel around them.

Make a splash this Christmas

Our Subtropical Swimming Paradise is open every day during your festive break. Enjoy a Christmas Day dip and work up an appetite before the big feast. Ride the waves, relax in the whirlpools, brave the rapids and race down the slides.

 

Subtropical Swimming Paradise

Three people—an adult and two children—walk hand in hand away from the camera along a paved path. Autumn leaves, wooden fences, and forest cabins surround them, with sunlight streaming ahead.
