Plenty of activities are available in the frozen paradise.
People who are looking to fly somewhere with a difference this year could consider taking the trip to Sweden for a holiday with a distinct difference this festive season.
Recent statistics from the Association of British Travel Agents (ABTA) have shown that some 4.25 million Brits will head overseas this year, with most heading for the beach or the ski slopes of France and Austria. But for those travel insurance customers looking for something with a difference, heading to Sweden's famous ice hotel can be a magical experience for all the family.
According to Jack Huang of Executive Perks, the hotel presents a mystical experience for people of all ages, which is far removed from anything else in the world, and truly unique. He says that the entire structure is made out of tons of snow and ice.
Mr Huang says that people can enjoy the mystical look of the hallways, decorated with vibrant multicoloured lights as they make their way to their room.
"There is something for every adventurous personality," he added.
People who are visiting Sweden for the first time may also like to visit the iron and copper mines in Kiruna and Falun or see reindeers for a truly festive experience in the national parks situated in Padjelanta and Muddus.
Visitors to the hotel can also enjoy many winter activities whilst they make a stay in the accommodation. Activities such as ice fishing and reindeer rides are popular, while viewing the northern lights can be a rare opportunity for people staying in the hotel.
And for people who have large aspirations, people can also have professional lessons in sculpting figures from ice. And who knows, maybe one day they will be able to construct their very own ice hotel.
