Santa and his six reindeer land his “Sleigh380” today at Manchester Airport to unload 500 presents, ahead of a big surprise for inbound passengers on Friday morning in Terminal One at the UK’s third busiest airport.
And on Friday, as passengers return for sunny climes such as Dubai, Spain and Greece, they will be met by Manchester Airport’s Winter Wonderland and given the opportunity to select one of 500 mystery boxes, all overseen by Santa Claus himself.
250 boxes will contain a festive cupcake, the other 250 will have golden tickets to a range of prizes including bikes, iPods and TVs.
