Leading convenience retailers, SuperValu and Centra, in conjunction with Terra Travel and Kellogg’s, are giving two families the chance to take a magical day trip of a life-time to Lapland to see Santa Claus.

From Monday November 12, there will be special Christmas post boxes in every SuperValu and Centra store in Northern Ireland, plus postcards that, once filled out and posted in-store, could be the ticket to a magical Lapland adventure for two lucky families.

The incredible competition costs nothing to enter, but be quick as the closing date is December 1, explained Brendan Gallen, Head of Marketing, Musgrave.

“We are incredibly excited to be offering two lucky families the chance to win a prize that must be every child’s dream at Christmas. The prize, Santa’s Sleigh Day, is for a family of four, two adults and two children, and includes a day trip to Rovaniemi, the Official Hometown of Santa Claus in Finland, far inside the Arctic Circle, where the snow is thick and sparkling. Santa Claus and his reindeer will be waiting to meet you for a magical day that the whole family will treasure forever.

“It’s so easy and free to enter; just head to your nearest SuperValu or Centra store with your ‘little elves’ and help them to complete the entry postcard, post it in the special Christmas post box provided, and you could be a winner.  The competition closes on December 1 and winners will be informed soon after and must be available to travel on December 17 with valid passports for all.”
