The official town of Santa Claus, Rovaniemi, Finland, is one of the ultimate white Christmas destinations!

Disneyland Parisis already preparing its awesome Disney White Christmas and the snowy peaks of the French Alps are not far from Pars, giving you plenty of opportunity for some wonderful Paris day trips.

While surrounded by breathtaking scenery all year round, there is something extra special about seeing snow-capped mountains. Zakopane is situated at the base of the Tatra Mountains, giving you plenty of opportunities for sightseeing and day trips.For the parents, expect hot chocolate, vin chaud (mulled wine), candy canes and gingerbread whilst you wait for your excited children to return. On Christmas Eve, children are singing carols from house to house to receive candies, apples or even money. What to do in Paris during Christmas with kids?

The hotel organises activities and has all the equipment you need so you don’t need to spend hours shopping for single-use clothing. They also make Christmas magical for children. There are poignant moments too with Legs and Iz’s mum. This feels so real. So raw. Clearing the loft near the beginning of the story was a painful ending. But also a beginning.

Christmas in the Snow is a story that didn't let me go (and still hasn't!). I felt every emotion and loved every single thing. The writing flows and the style made it easy for me to be visual.
