Every year families from all over Europe head to Lapland to give their children an unforgettable Christmas experience. So much so, it's big business in Finland from the sleigh rides through to the giant 'Santa Village', which sits at the heart of the city of Rovaniemi.

On Christmas Day, Colin broadcasts live from inside the Santa Claus Village where he meets up with some of the families who are out there to hear their personal stories about Christmas in Lapland.

There are also many ex-pats living in Rovaniemi, having come out here to work in the 'Christmas Industry'. Colin chats to them about life in the Arctic Circle, how they bring their children up here, and what they miss about home at this festive time. He also links to other 5 live listeners
around the world who may be apart from their families or homes this Christmas.

Colin will also settle down for his traditional Finnish Christmas dinner of ham, herring and beetroot as listeners at home begin their own turkey and stuffing. Some special guests and friends of 5 live join him 'virtually' round the table, as they share their Christmas experiences from home.
