- 20,000 MAGICAL TRIPS TO BE TAKEN ON FATHER CHRISTMAS EXPRESS DELIVERY IN 2026
- TWO BRAND-NEW, EXCLUSIVE FESTIVE SHOWS
- EXTRA 10% OFF 2026 FESTIVE BREAKS WITH SO MUCH INCLUDED IN THE PRICE*
Hemel Hempstead, 2 November 2026 - Butlin’s, the Home of Entertainment, is gearing up to transform all three resorts for the festive season.
Over 140,000 guests are expected to enjoy a festive break at Butlin's as it celebrates its 90th Christmas, with more than 10,000 guests spending Christmas Day itself at one of the three resorts.
Families will also be treated to two brand-new festive shows, included in the price of breaks. A live band will give classic Christmas songs a rock twist in Christmas Rocks, and the Robbie Williams tribute show Rock DJ will feature his biggest hits**.
Christmas isn’t complete without a visit to the world’s most famous Redcoat, Father Christmas. This year, Butlin's expects 20,000 surprise-filled trips will be taken in the big man’s magical lift at all three resorts to his Festive Grotto in Father Christmas’ Express Delivery. The 30-minute, immersive experience is back for 2026 and included in the price of all festive breaks.
The Christmas magic doesn't stop there, as every break has a jam-packed line-up of festive-themed shows and activities all included in the price. With pantomimes and Christmas going hand in hand, the Jack and the Beanstalk live show will move to Studio 36, the largest venue at all three resorts.
The panto will be performed twice during each festive break, giving more families the chance to see it and get into the festive spirit. 80,000 guests are expected to watch the pantomime across the three resorts. The production is included in the price of every festive break, alongside arts and crafts sessions, Christmas-themed pool parties and discos.
Every festive break also includes access to the Splash Waterworld pools, unlimited fairground rides, the SKYPARK playgrounds in Minehead and Skegness, and the Skyline Gang Soft Play centre in Bognor Regis. Families can also catch Butlin’s year-round live entertainment such as the new Peppa Pig-Nic Celebration featuring Evie Pig and Animals and Mythical Beasts.
With an extra 10% off, there's a huge range of festive breaks to choose from. Families can get away before the big day on a Christmas Festive Wonderland break from £39, celebrate Christmas at Butlin’s from £184, or enjoy a final dose of Christmas with a Festive Wonderland break from £167.
For those looking to leap into the New Year on a staycation like no other, guests can ring in 2027 at the Home of Entertainment with live music, huge parties and incredible fireworks displays, all included in the price of breaks from £313.
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."
