Uber is hooking travelers up with free reindeer-pulled sleigh rides in Finland to really get into the holiday spirit.
The experience, which is available on a first-come, first-served basis, allows travelers in Lapland, Finland, to enjoy on-demand sleigh rides during two time slots this month. Uber Sleigh will offer two-hour rides at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. from Dec. 12 through Dec. 18.
“At Uber, we’re always looking at ways to bring a little magic to every trip. Therefore, with just the tap of a button, you could be on a once-in-a-lifetime tour of one of the most beautiful places on earth,” Anabel Diaz, vice president and general manager of EMEA Mobility at Uber, said in a statement. “We’re delighted to bring Christmas dreams to life with the launch of Uber Sleigh in Lapland.”

Each sleigh ride is pulled by Santa’s reindeer (complete with a festive Uber-branded harness) and includes a blanket to keep warm while journeying through the stunning snow-covered forest to Rovaniemi, the official hometown of Santa Claus.
Travelers who are in the Rovaniemi region of Finland will be able to see the Uber Sleigh available in the Uber app.
Moreover, there are other exciting festive activities in Finland. For instance, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the Northern Lights or unwind in traditional wood-fired saunas.
For those wishing to experience the holiday spirit closer to home, various towns across the United States offer enchanting Christmas festivities, such as cookie exchanges in Aspen, magical moments with Mickey Mouse in Orlando, and twinkling lights-filled boat parades in North Carolina. Furthermore, a Santa and cookie-themed train ride in Napa provides the perfect opportunity for creating memorable holiday experiences, complete with carolers, sing-alongs, hot chocolate, and the Big Man himself.
Lastly, for travelers whose ideal vision of a White Christmas includes pristine beaches, resorts in St. Lucia offer special visits from Santa, along with traditional family Christmas meals and other holiday amenities.
