Santa covers approximately 316,899,308 miles [1] over Christmas, much of which is covered in snow, so it’s important he refreshes his snowboarding skills before his busiest time of year.

This December Santa has been invited to get some practice in at Snozone Milton Keynes and Castleford before his Christmas World Tour. Being the kind hearted fellow that he is, Santa has agreed to meet children in the snow every Saturday and Sunday until Christmas and Monday 23rd December, but only on the condition that his two favourite reindeer were able to bring him along on his first day.

It sounded like an ‘elf and safety nightmare, but not wanting to let Santa down, Snozone agreed to let Rudolph and Dancer chaperone Santa on Saturday 7th December. The real reindeer caused quite a spectacle outside Xscape with hundreds of children wanting to catch sight of them, before pulling Santa’s sleigh through the mall and into the snowy wonderland at Snozone.

Warren Port, General Manager of Snozone Milton Keynes says: “Every year we like to bring some Christmas magic to Snozone and the real reindeers certainly brought that to the slopes on Saturday. Children were given the chance to feed and pet the reindeers, before sledging with Santa, which is a Christmas experience they will never forget”.

Children (3 and over) can meet Santa in the snow with a sledging experience and a gift from Santa at 12pm, 1pm or 2pm on 14th, 15th, 21st, 22nd and 23rd December. Children under 3 can meet Santa in the snow and receive a gift from him at 10am on these dates. Pre-booking is recommended to avoid disappointment.
