Activities Abroad, the company that caused a stir in the press earlier this year when it wrote to customers promising them a ‛chav-free holiday', has launched a beautiful new winter brochure for 2009/2010 featuring pictures of sleek polar bears, adorable huskies and happy families frolicking in the Arctic snow.

While it may seem a little early to be booking for Christmas, these holidays are not cheap and need careful planning - and the trips involving Santa do get booked up, so it's always worth a drool over the brochure as early as possible.

Holidays for this winter include four day Santa trips to un-commercialised Savalen in Norway, husky safaris, Arctic log cabins, ice hotels and Northern Lights spotting trips. Destinations include Finland, Norway, Sweden and Canada. A four-day Santa trip to Norway costs £995 per adult, including full board and all activities, and £425 for children under four, £795 for four-12 year olds. Book now and you'll have something to look forward to once the summer is over.
