Ditch the Decorations, Embrace the Deerstalkers! Unwrap a Cracking Christmas Cracker in the Lake District!
This Christmas, forget the frantic wrapping paper chase and swap tinsel for twinkling stars! The Lake District beckons with a festive family adventure that’ll have everyone swapping “Bah Humbugs” for belly laughs.
Imagine waking up in a cosy cottage, the frosted windowpanes revealing a wonderland of crisp mornings and frosty fields. After a hearty Christmas breakfast, chuck on your wellies and bobble hats – it’s time to explore!
Elf-tastic days:
- Windermere’s Winter Wonderland: Take a magical cruise on Windermere, the star of the Lakes, adorned with twinkling lights. Gaze at the festive illuminations while sipping hot cocoa and toasting marshmallows (watch out for sticky fingers!).
- Santa’s Grotto Goes Wild: Boggle at the amazing creatures at Lakeland Wildlife Park! See reindeer prancing about (the real kind, not Rudolph!), stroke a penguin (Father Christmas’ little helpers?), and marvel at majestic birds of prey. There might even be a special Christmas character or two hiding amongst the enclosures!
- The Gruffalo’s Gruesome Grotto: Deep in Grizedale Forest lies a Gruffalo-themed grotto! Follow the festive trail, meet some storybook characters, and maybe even encounter the grumpy Gruffalo himself (don’t worry, he’s much friendlier at Christmas time).
Evenings by the fire:
- Christmas Cracker Crafts: Gather ’round the crackling fire and unleash your inner elves! Decorate gingerbread biscuits, make your own Christmas cards, or have a go at crafting some festive decorations for your cottage.
- Family Game Nights: Board games by the fire are a Christmas tradition for a reason! Dust off those old favourites or try a new festive game – there’s bound to be some hilarious competition (and maybe a little friendly bribery for extra turns!).
- Cosy Movie Nights: Snuggle up on the sofa with steaming mugs of hot chocolate and a Christmas classic on the telly. From heartwarming tales to hilarious hijinks, there’s a Christmas movie to suit every mood.
Memories that Last a Lifetime:
This Christmas, swap the hustle and bustle for twinkling stars and frosty adventures. The Lake District offers a festive escape that’s all about family, fun, and making memories that’ll last a lifetime. So ditch the stress and book your cosy cottage escape today!
