We’re excited to reveal that Forest Holidays is creating some unforgettable festive experiences in the forest with The Snowman™ and The Snowdog, in partnership with Penguin Random House Children’s. Here’s how you can celebrate with us and ensure that Christmas 2020 is your most incredible yet.
Experience the natural magic of the forest
As you get deeper and deeper into the forest, something magical happens - you begin to see the world through the eyes of a child. A bundle of sticks becomes an epic fort. A tree becomes a fairytale castle. And a pile of snow combined with a pair of socks becomes a real life Snowdog scampering through the woodland.
The excitement in the air becomes even more tangible at Christmas, as the leaves twinkle with frost and crisp evenings give way to clear starry nights. This naturally makes the forest the perfect location for a festive celebration - and means you can bring the magic of The Snowman™ and The Snowdog into your everyday life.
In winter our locations are transformed into a wonderland that’s perfect for a cheeky Snowdog. With lanterns and lights that spark your imagination, festive fun is guaranteed.
Whether you’re holidaying with little ones or just want to feel like a ‘big kid’ again, spend some time together in the forest this Christmas.
