Our top 10 Christmas stunts pulled by airports
Everyone’s getting into the festive spirit this year, and airports and airlines around the world do not want to be left out. Snuggle up in your favourite Christmas jumper, grab a mince pie and settle in to experience some of the best Christmas themed events at airports! You might want to grab a box of tissues too, if you happen to be prone to the waterworks!

First up, we couldn’t launch into this list any other way than mentioning the video that, in my opinion, started it all: Canadian airline WestJet’s Christmas Miracle.
2 .
Not to be outdone, Copenhagen Airport stepped in with their own Christmas surprise, sending presents cascading down the Baggage Carousel…

How’s this for some last minute Christmas shopping? At Munich Airport they have taken advantage of Germany’s notoriety for their excellent Christmas Markets and gone ahead and set one up at the airport itself – the perfect place to spend those annoying last few euros? I think so!
Tomorrow our Christmas and Winter Market starts at#MUC – enjoy the magical #winterwonderland until December 29 – https://t.co/p9Q4vRdQAW pic.twitter.com/dLVQ5q5tIS

Heathrow Airport passengers can see how busy it can really get at Santa’s workshop! If you’re travelling through T2 or T5, you can have a little look through the periscopes! Passengers at Terminal 5 were also surprised by the British Airways cabin crew singing festive songs as they landed at Heathrow! What a heartwarming welcome!
Our passengers witness Santa’s workshop in full flow right beneath their feet! Travelling through T2 or T5 soon? Sneak a peek into our periscopes to see our #HeathrowElfSquad hard at work ahead of Christmas. 🎄✨ #ChristmasAtHeathrow. Find out more: https://t.co/F4WdHFKMkD pic.twitter.com/Ny8683uvZA

Southampton Airport have been on the ball for a few years now, releasing an annual festive themed video. Our personal favourite is their 2012 offering; an insight into how they’ve brought some festive cheer to the airport.
