SWEDEN'S northernmost city has been named Europe's most underrated destination for a white Christmas. Located in Swedish Lapland, Kiruna is a mining town that's home to just under 20,000 people - and it's said to be the best place for Brits to experience a white Christmas. Ferry operator DFDS analysed 23 years of snowfall data across a whopping 164 destinations in Europe.

The operator cross-analysed snowfall data with the least-searched destinations on Google to find the best place to see snow on Christmas Day. Kiruna, Sweden's northernmost city, was crowned the winner with a 70 per cent chance of snow on December 25. The Swedish city only had 100 Google searches per month, with only 12 per cent of Brits surveyed aware of the Swedish city.

Located in northern Sweden, Kiruna is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream destination from its deep forests, lakes, rivers and mountains. The nearby Abisko National Park is ideal for hiking and experiencing the Midnight Sun in summer. It is also a good destination to see the Northern Lights, which are often visible on winter nights - although its appearance is never guaranteed.

Other attractions include an Ice Hotel and the Esrange Space Centre, which offers insights into space research. Additionally, Kiruna Church, one of Sweden's largest wooden buildings, is worth a visit for its beautiful architecture. Although the location of Kiruna Church is set to change next year when the entire city is relocated two miles south.
