From the magic of snow to seeing the jolly man himself, here are some festive fun days out in the UK for you to add to your Christmas lists this year!<\/p>\n
The Coca-Cola Truck Tour, nationwide<\/p>\n
Nothing says Christmas like the iconic Coca-Cola truck, which is why the festive truck tour makes for the ideal Christmas day out! With 42 locations this year, you\u2019ll have the chance to experience a winter wonderland setting whilst sipping on your favourite drink, plus you could even see your festive photo on the side of the truck. Prepare for this festive favourite to be seen everywhere \u2013 the holidays are coming after all!<\/p>\n
Lee Valley Ice Centre, Greater London<\/p>\n
Ice skating is always top of our list for a festive day out, but you don\u2019t have to play the weather lottery thanks to Lee Valley Ice Centre. Open seven days a week (and all year round!), the international-sized ice rink has plenty of space for the whole family, whether you\u2019re a figure-skating pro, or a little bit wobbly\u2026<\/p>\n
Piglets Adventure Farm, York<\/p>\n
For a truly unforgettable Christmas day out, we love Piglets Adventure Farm! Book your flight on a magical sleigh ride, then arrive at Elf Airlines to see your name up in lights on the live departure board. Write a letter to Santa whilst you wait to board, before riding through the trees and twinkling lights to the Woodland Village. See Santa in his grotto, unlock Santa\u2019s toyshop and see animals starring in the nativity scene \u2013 and there are lots more too! It promises to be a magical day out for the whole family, plus there are free mince pies for grown-ups too!<\/p>\n
Cairngorms National Park, Scottish Highlands<\/p>\n
Head to Britain\u2019s largest National Park this Christmas, for a Christmas day out with Santa, Rudolph and the rest of their reindeer friends! Daily trips run to visit the herd of reindeer who roam freely around Cairngorms National Park, and we hear they\u2019re all really friendly and like to be hand fed! A truly magical way to see the majestic animals in natural surroundings, and with Santa checking into regularly to make sure they\u2019re ready for the biggest job of the year, it\u2019s a great family festive day out<\/p>\n
Drusillas Park, East Sussex<\/p>\n
There\u2019s loads of festive fun at Drusillas Park this December, making it a great choice for a Christmas day out with the kids<\/a>! Visit Santa\u2019s Christmas Cottage where kids can tell him all about their list this year, then visit the Husky Cave, where visitors can come face to face with the cuddly canines. With Santa\u2019s Reindeer and the spectacular Winter Wonderland Illuminations too, it\u2019s a magical day out for the whole family.<\/p>\n Drayton\u2019s Magical Christmas, Staffordshire<\/p>\n Drayton\u2019s Magical Christmas is exactly that; magical fun for the whole family! The popular Thomas Land is transformed into a Winter Wonderland, with live shows, carols, light shows, festive food and of course, Father Christmas himself! Each day ends with a fabulous fireworks display, plus there\u2019s a selection of Thomas Land rides open, along with the zoo and the 4D cinema, showing the fantastically festive Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas. Over at the Castle of Dreams, all children receive a free gift and there\u2019s the fab Slide & Glide rink \u2013 lots of festive fun to celebrate the 10th year of Drayton\u2019s Magical Christmas.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It\u2019s officially time to start talking about Christmas.
