Those Christmas sweaters are really the most. One could even say, swish! I mean, Gaby’s a stylista, but Tim has a certain sporty, down-to-earth, on-the-town, I’ve-been-to-posh-places-but-am-still-yo’-cool-dude-next-door style his own self. In other news, this video has made me want to visit Lapland.
That looked like a wonderful experience Tim. Very happy that you were able to have Gaby and Casper with you. I wish I'd had one of those experiences with my own own children when they were young.
Thank you for taking me there with you! I’ve only just found your channel last week or so. I’ve been devouring your content and sharing it friends and family. Amazing job, Tim!
It's so nice to see you and the family have a well rounded experience as oppossed to just having a night in a hotel. That night excursion looked so atmospheric and a lovely memory to take home.
Very reasonable price considering the location and time of year. As a lover of salmon, that which you had looked excellent and clearly was, as you mentioned. The trip out onto the frozen lake was pretty incredible and great joy seeing Thumps having the time of his life. And, of course, equally great, that he and Gaby were, at last, able to be there with you.
Hey Tim, just FYI the Rovaniemi McDonald’s is no longer the world’s most Northern McDonald’s! It was overtaken by the new McDonald’s that opened Tromsø, Norway in 2024.
4:36 Dandruff?! I got the impression from the Head & Shoulders adverts that they had eradicated dandruff. Joking aside Tim I think we are all happy that you Gaby and Casper made it to Lapland after last year's disappointment.
Fantastic video . I’ve been to Lapland in the summer and would love to visit in the winter . Looks a great way to create Christmas memories for families. Love the cosy vibe everywhere .
Just finally caught up, looked fabulous,the evening on the snow sledges and ice river walk was good,Casper really did enjoy it. The fire looked very warming, and sausages too.😮 Thanks for sharing,hope you had a fab time and a lovely birthday Tim. Take care bye for now 🤗xx
I stayed at the Arctic Light on one of the rooms right off of the elevator that looked like a "cage", at the end of the video. I found that room to be quite clean and lovely. It wasn't as large as your room and no skylights, but otherwise it was very nice with a wardrobe and cleaner than your room was. I found the staff to be very kind and accommodating. The front desk guy told me about Finnish cheese. They graciously packed me a breakfast of cheese on bread and croissants because I had a 6am meeting time for the ice breaker cruise. The location wasn't as central as the Hotel Santa Claus, but was still a short walking distance to everything, including the grocery store (which was near the mall). If your polar bear was offered for 12 euro, yours was a steal. I resisted the first night but by the second or third night, he felt like my buddy and I had to take him home - for 19 euro. I thought it was an unusual minibar item and yeah...I gave in. Right across the street was the fat tire bike place and many tour companies. I really liked that hotel and their breakfast buffet was really good.
Just started.. and how you've not asked for a hoover yet and cleaned some of these places before relaxing, I'll never know. I'd be mortified if I worked there and saw that!
I think you lucked out on the other restaurant. The food looked good and it seemed more spacious than the hotel restaurant. Luxury appears to be a really flexible word around the world. I’d rate the room decent with nice skylights. Nothing to write home about. Prime tourist location in season, the rate was probably reasonable for “luxury.” Everything has gone up in price since COVID. The rest of the trip seemed fabulous especially if you like cold weather. ❤ Nice video. Really gave us a sense of the place.
In my current relationship.. there's 6 of us. So, I'm absolutely over the moon that you describe how many people fit in the showers on your travels. It's really helpful indeed😉
Thanks, Tim for another great review. It is nice that the family could attend as well. I was expecting that you would have to pay even more for your room. Overall it is nice. Also without so much snow on the ground, it made it much easier to push Casper around :)
@@sharynkhan1104 Whale ,reindeer, moose all tastes terrible, never eat the stuff. Reindeers are terrible animals, the only wild ones in Europe live 60 km from where I am in the south of Norway. All other reindeer are owned by the Sami people, they live up north mostly. Terrible people as well
Someone always gets cold if more than one person is near the hot water! LOL. Speaking of cold just seeing all that cold weather makes my little Florida soul shiver.
I appreciate how you try to find the good and have fun in the moment. It must be a busy household with multiple vlogers in the family. I hope you and your family have a happy Christmas and fantastic 2025! 🫶🎄✨
Very interesting hotel. Food is unique too / but nice to have options…. Lovely your family came to share the experience Yurt. Cookout. Northern lights Fun.
Hello Tim and Gaby, what a awesome video,looks a great place to be, especially with the lights giving the Xmas feel.the restaurant was really nice.the trip was ideal having sausages on the fire and watching the sky.for the price it was pretty good.
Love your wintery videos above the arctic circle the best! Hope there's more to come - Greenland, Svalbard? There are some amazing wildlife & nature cruises to Svalbard archipelago - fjords, ice formations, polar bears... 🙃
Very reasonable price. Pity the bear was not free. I would not try reindeer either but that soup i would..i love salmon. Thanks tim for another wonderful vlog ❤❤❤❤
Price, quality, service, pick any two. As the old saying goes. When in the nordics always go for quality and price because we dont do good service period.
Marvelous trip for your family. I must say, little Casper is a great traveler. He seems to adapt so quickly to whichever environment and experience you bring him to. Merry Christmas!!
The hotel is pretty decent, especially for that price. Nice views. I'm glad to see Casper had fun. He has endless energy. I wish I could buy some of that from him 😂 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Nice hotel and room Tim. Love the festive jumpers. I bet Thumps was in dreamland there for Christmas time. Shame the guy who found your mic never handed it in🎄🎄
I was so pleased for you this time tim because you you got to spend it with gaby and casper this time ⏲️ and that was so amazing enjoy the rest of your trip 😊😅😂❤❤❤❤
Wow I caught you live first time! Good morning Tim, Gaby and Casper love both of your channels. From Las Vegas! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year Tim, Gaby, Casper and to your families!
That’s it! My nana, born in 1907 agreed… one and done. Don’t worry too much about the dead, they can’t hurt you. Polish it behind the door, say it fast, AND travel. Hell of a life, isn’t it? 👍🏻
Quite a few restaurants you’ve missed out on, because they’ve been fully booked. Are you not able to book these when you book the room? Seems such a shame to miss out.
Living in the Scottish Highlands, there would be little reason to go over there. We have mountains, snow resorts (we had decent snow last week), often see the Northern Lights during the winter too. Think if I was going to spend the money I would choose somewhere in the Aviemore area, as there is so much to do; shops, restaurants, outdoor sports, walks, cycling etc, plus such a large amount of accommodation from resorts to Airbnb etc. Hopefully the funicular railway up Cairngorm Mountain will open shortly as that is an amazing experience just for the views alone
I would definitely and happily go to Lapland Tim it looks just so wonderful and magical there. The prices also are not bad at all and that room looked very cosy. Would definitely be nice with my wife/gf. Thanks for sharing Tim 👍
First time I've felt Chrismassy this year watching this video Tim, been a hard working year for me and November my Grandad passed away, but you've awakened that Xmas spark, I wasn't saying any of that for sympathy, just merely saying I'm on hard times, so cheers buddy, the Xmas spirit of the video has lifted my mood, thanks again 😜👍
@@moniquetheobald889 Aww thanks mate, much appreciated, sorry for your loss as well, we'll get through it. Back at you, best of luck, have a great Christmas yourself XXXX
I always love watching your videos sir.. and your in Lapland again 🇫🇮… just like you said you always do in your videos 🥰. I’d love to visit there next yr Dec and follow your itineraries … thanks boss 😊

Yes I agree ... it was interesting & looked like a lot of fun! Great to see them enjoying it together.
That looked like a wonderful experience Tim. Very happy that you were able to have Gaby and Casper with you. I wish I'd had one of those experiences with my own own children when they were young.
The glasses are Finnish design by Iittala, called Ultima Thule. They're very sturdy, you just put them down like any normal glass. :)
Beautiful glasses!
I was going to say the same!
The way Gabby said “There’s a market around here!” made it sound like her spidey senses kicked off 😅
😄
tim's story about the lights in the window went in one ear and out the other
Yes, it was very psychic! I heard the Twilight Zone music in my head… 😂😂😂
Thank you for taking me there with you! I’ve only just found your channel last week or so. I’ve been devouring your content and sharing it friends and family. Amazing job, Tim!
This means a lot, thank you . Welcome to the channel
It's so nice to see you and the family have a well rounded experience as oppossed to just having a night in a hotel. That night excursion looked so atmospheric and a lovely memory to take home.
What I love the most is that it's not crowded there. As somebody who likes to avoid people this would be perfect for me. XD

Indeed barry was absolutely gutted they couldn't make it last year
Hi guys from New Zealand, summer Christmas here for us. Love your videos, hope one day you’ll find yourself here in nz
Tim I love it when you wander into random corridors of hotels please keep doing it ❤
Hello Tim and Gaby! So glad I caught your video! Have a super time and continue your good work, it’s appreciated! ❤
thank you
I eat salmon three times a week.. as a matter of fact I'm going to have some salmon tonight with creamed spinach❤
Your little one is always smiling so cute ❤️
Just the same with the the old fisherman in the UK. A candle lights the way home for everyone...
Hey Tim, just FYI the Rovaniemi McDonald’s is no longer the world’s most Northern McDonald’s! It was overtaken by the new McDonald’s that opened Tromsø, Norway in 2024.
gaby will be gutted 😂

I'm glad Gaby and Casper were there this Tim
Me too 🎅
lol this tim
Casper!!! Glad the little man got to experience such a winter wonderland 👍🏼. Such a beautiful place. I would love to take my family to Finland.
Just went to Cologne Christmas market and it’s amazing 100% going back again thank you for making the Cologne video in the past
Hope you had a great time
Used to be my favourite place to do running. Used to do laps around the land
Great family vlog🎉 but a dirty room is just off putting 😢😢
Love the channel Tim. Makes my heart warm when the family is with you. You do so many without them.
What an enchantingly beautiful place, and so pristine.
I've stayed there twice. Great room and breakfast was my memories from there 😄
Fantastic video . I’ve been to Lapland in the summer and would love to visit in the winter . Looks a great way to create Christmas memories for families. Love the cosy vibe everywhere .
Great hotel and experience 🦌

Thanks for sharing,hope you had a fab time and a lovely birthday Tim. Take care bye for now 🤗xx
Love Gabby's greeting to you in the restaurant!! She's a gem. 🙂
Definitely doesn't deserve a 4 star rating😮
Agree.
You are a beautiful family, Happy Christmas Tim, Gabby, Holly and little thumps Casper, lovely video, thank you XXXXX
Thank you for the holiday cheer. This makes the bucket list 🎄
Right on Gabi!
Hi Tim Gaby & little Casper can't wait to see this Hotel 😀👍
WONDERFUL! Thank you. 🌠⛄🎄

i did mention about the little black curlys
Good stuff!.. it's unacceptable really!
Was nice seeing Gaby and Caspar with you Tim, Gaby looked really pretty, you both are lucky to have each other xxx

Drinking game, take a shot every time Tim says 'cosy' 😁
Great video, looks worth a trip at this time of year!
Drinking game: who dies first
It's time to Walk With Tim and Gaby and search for Santa! Tis the season ☃️
Salmon what a surprise 😂 love the vid.
So good to see Gabby and Casper. Sad room was dirty. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!🎆🎈🎊
Thanks, Tim for another great review. It is nice that the family could attend as well. I was expecting that you would have to pay even more for your room. Overall it is nice. Also without so much snow on the ground, it made it much easier to push Casper around :)
Ok, I laughed when Tim is explaining why there are stars in the windows and Gabby’s response was…”There is a market around here” lol!!!
Thank you for taking us with you. What a great experience and Merry Christmas to you both.
Gabby was brave to try the reindeer.Must say I don't like trying new things but from what she said sounded ok.🎉
Don't expect Rudolph this Christmas: Tim and Gaby ate him.
We have eaten reindeer in Norway for a minimum of 11 500 years. they are annoying animals, what ever Disney portrays them as
You eat whale as well.
No wonder the whale population is decreasing.
As for eating reindeer I think you are incorrect they are lovely animals.
@@sharynkhan1104 Whale ,reindeer, moose all tastes terrible, never eat the stuff.
Reindeers are terrible animals, the only wild ones in Europe live 60 km from where I am in the south of Norway.
All other reindeer are owned by the Sami people, they live up north mostly.
Terrible people as well

10/10 Video. Great work Tim & Gabby.
Very interesting hotel. Food is unique too / but nice to have options…. Lovely your family came to share the experience
Yurt. Cookout. Northern lights Fun.
Hello Tim and Gaby, what a awesome video,looks a great place to be, especially with the lights giving the Xmas feel.the restaurant was really nice.the trip was ideal having sausages on the fire and watching the sky.for the price it was pretty good.
I have eaten elk burgers before. Taste like lean beef. I imagine reindeer would taste similar.
Lovely video when youre all together. Hugs to the baba 🤗 ❤❤
Love your wintery videos above the arctic circle the best! Hope there's more to come - Greenland, Svalbard? There are some amazing wildlife & nature cruises to Svalbard archipelago - fjords, ice formations, polar bears... 🙃
How nice! I will watch this and forget about the drones flying around my house.
Luv ur christmas sweaters so appropriate u need one for Casper🎉🎉🎉😊
"Black curly hairs" 😳
By the coments, people love it. Is it me? I would run away from the hotel in seconds 😄
Yes , countable noun. It’s correct.
Very reasonable price. Pity the bear was not free. I would not try reindeer either but that soup i would..i love salmon. Thanks tim for another wonderful vlog ❤❤❤❤

The fact that we get free videos on TH-cam by Tim is truly a gift; keeping knowledge and entertainment alive. 👍🙏🏽🤷
why wouldnt you? most of videos on here are free
Another brilliant video & thanks for sharing 🤗Merry Christmas Tim, Gaby & Casper 🎄🎅🎁
Such a bonus to see the wee Thumps having so much fun 😊, much ❤ from Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿
And, merry Christmas Tim, Gabi, Holly, Casper + fam 🎄🌲🎅
Was surprised I thought it would of been way more than that beautiful place
Gaby and Casper are wonderful and Casper will have so many memories. I think they don’t go to the hot deserty places!
Finnish November is so wrist-slittingly miserable that we need the Christmas lights early!
Nice hotel and room Tim. Love the festive jumpers. I bet Thumps was in dreamland there for Christmas time. Shame the guy who found your mic never handed it in🎄🎄
its nice to see any snow! as you know we dont get much, if any in the east of England! merry christmas to you and Gabby and Thumps!! xx
Hi tim loved the video looks like an amazing place would love to go there one day. And love the christmas jumper :)
I was so pleased for you this time tim because you you got to spend it with gaby and casper this time ⏲️ and that was so amazing enjoy the rest of your trip 😊😅😂❤❤❤❤
That's where my family's from! So cool you went to Rovaniemi, it's not the biggest of towns... 😄🎄
Lovely video Tim, the room was lovely. Soo glad you had a lovely birthday. 🥰
Next time you should stay at the Hotel Sky Ounasvaara. They have absolutely amazing Lapland decor rooms.
That salmon soup ; looked yummy
Had reindeer for the first time in Norway - delicious. Looks beautiful in Lapland
Great video Tim Lapland looks a wonderful place and that excursion was a wonderful experience
This was a fun and beautiful family video ❤ I am so glad that you got to bring Gaby and Casper 🎉

I'd quite like to go there. Looks great despite the lack of bed cleaning. The village streets look very nice being free of litter. Stunning auroras. 👍
This makes me curious as to what a worst motel review in Lapland would be like 🤔🤔
Hardly any snow in Rovaniemi! Unreal!
Love these extreme location reviews
I would definitely and happily go to Lapland Tim it looks just so wonderful and magical there. The prices also are not bad at all and that room looked very cosy. Would definitely be nice with my wife/gf.
