One really cool Christmas vacation idea is for the whole family to go someplace where the season is celebrated in a unique way. These special places will give you, your family and friends some pretty good memories for years to come. To complete the experience, it is best to scout for vacation rentals that specifically cater to the holiday mood.
Santa Claus' Village, Finland
In Rovaniemi, Finland, you will find Santa's very own village which you can actually visit any time of the year. It is however particularly magical during the Christmas season. The cottages are all snow-covered and there are brightly costumed little elves to bring on the magical cheer. The entire scene looks like something straight out of a Christmas postcard. The village has 19 semi-detached rental cabins each with 2 bedrooms and their own kitchenettes. Everyday, the children are allowed 2 hours of activities at the Gingerbread House or visiting with Santa Claus whilst their parents do their shopping 10 minutes away at the Rovaniemi town centre.
Santa Claus City, Indiana

Come home to this rental cottage after a fun and exhausting day visiting Holiday World and Santa's Candy Castle with its largest selection of gourmet candy canes in the world!
