Secret Santa… UK's Intriguing Christmas Experiences Revealed

With just weeks to go, some of the UK's most fascinating Christmas themed experiences, including ice sculpting and glass bauble making, have been unwrapped.

Available to book through Experiences.co.uk, the wide range of out-of-the-ordinary festive packages will appeal to families, couples or as a memorable gift to someone special, and are available at locations across the country.

Imran Malek, corporate sales manager at Experiences.co.uk, said: "Who wants run of the mill when there are so many exciting Christmas themed experiences to enjoy, ranging from a Jingle Bell Burnout to a Santa Special Train Ride?"

Among the 'coolest' Christmas experiences is an unforgettable ice sculpting class, available as a group package for five or for two people. Under the guidance of expert sculptors, participants will create their own ice masterpiece.

Those with a creative flair, or who simply want to try something new, can try glass bauble making. The workshop in a purpose-built glassblowing studio involves learning the art of hand-blown glass, under the direction of expert glassblowers.

Meanwhile, there's the chance to literally move up a gear with an awesome Jingle Bell Burnout or Santa's Stocking Filler – Supercar Experience.

The Burnout promises a feast of high octane action in two secret supercars, plus drifting, while the Supercar Stocking Filler offers a weekday supercar drive for three miles.

There's also plenty of extraordinary Christmas experiences for children including magical Santa Special Train Rides with the chance to meet Father Christmas, or enjoy a Glimpse of Christmas Past by stepping into history.

Animal lovers are also catered for with a wonderful Winter Donkey Experience, possibly the most appropriate animal to meet at this time of year, reindeers apart!

The experience includes grooming and feeding the donkeys, plus some hot chocolate and delicious warm food.

Imran added: "We couldn't resist including some more traditional festive themed experiences, it is Christmas after all."
