FROM festive discos to free Santa meets – there are lots of reasons to book a Butlin’s break this Christmas.
And the holiday park has just announced two new shows this year as well.
Santa himself will be in his festive grotto at all three Butlin’s resorts as the Father Christmas Express Delivery returns for 2026 – and it’s included in the price.
During the 30-minute experience, families will take a magical journey in a lift to Santa’s grotto where they’ll write their Christmas Day wish list.
Of course, children will get to meet, chat and have a photo with Father Christmas too.
New for this year at all three resorts are two festive shows, the first being a live band playing classic Christmas tunes with a rock twist.
The second will be the Robbie Williams tribute show Rock DJ who will play his biggest hits.
Across the parks will also be two weekly pantomime performances of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Also included in all breaks are festive arts and crafts sessions, Christmas-themed pool parties, discos, Christmas film showings and character photoshoots.
Not to mention all the usual perks too like access to the Splash Waterworld pools, the rides at the fairground, SKYPARK playgrounds in Minehead and Skegness, and the Skyline Gang Soft Play centre in Bognor Regis.
The year-round Butlin’s entertainment will continue like Peppa Pig-Nic Celebration featuring Evie Pig and Animals and Mythical Beasts.
Four-night Christmas Festive Wonderland breaks start from £39 which works out to just £10 per person.
These Festive Wonderland Breaks can be booked between November 23 and December 30.
For those who fancy a break over December 25, there’s an option to book the Christmas Day Breaks.
These can be booked between December 23 and December 27 and start from £184 or £46pp.
It doesn’t stop there either with New Year Breaks available to book too.
These will take place between December 30 to January 2 with prices from £313 or £79pp.
Mike Godolphin, Entertainment Director at Butlin’s, said: “As we wrap up an incredible year of celebrating our 90th birthday, we’re ending it on a festive high.
“The most wonderful time of the year is made extra special at Butlin’s, with non-stop festive shows and activities, all included in the price of breaks.
“While most families will be heading to the sofas after their Christmas lunch, our guests can whizz down the slides at Splash Waterworld. Where else can you swap your Christmas jumper for a swimsuit on Christmas Day?
“There’s no better place for a well-earned festive getaway, and we can’t wait to welcome thousands of guests across our three resorts.”
For those who want to guarantee no extra costs, Butlin’s also offers all-inclusive packages.
Dining plans with unlimited breakfast and dinner start from £25.95 per adult, per day, £15.50 per child (6-14), per day and £7.25 per child (2-5), per day.
All Inclusive drinks packages with a range of unlimited Costa Coffee, alcoholic and soft drinks start from £25.95 per adult, per day, £10.50 per child (6-14), per day and free for under 5’s.
