Olivia and Alex Bowen had an emotional day with their son in Lapland, UK, on Sunday.
The Love Island star, 30, has two-year-old son Abel with her husband Alex and they looked like a happy family as they attended the festive attraction over the weekend.
They had braved Storm Darragh, which is currently hitting the UK, although it seemed worth it for all three of them.
But the reality star admitted that she burst into tears several times throughout the day as she watched her son embrace the Christmas spirit.
She wrote on Instagram: ‘Hands up if you cried 172929 times on @laplanduk today.
“I don’t know what I expected, but every thought I had really flew away, the most magical place.”

British Lapland can cost £1,000 or more per family, with celebrities and royals among those queuing to see Father Christmas in the middle of the Berkshire countryside, MailOnline revealed last year.
Britain’s most exclusive festive grotto is priced to match – more than 100,000 people queued virtually in March for tickets costing up to £179 each for Christmas 2023.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children were among the wealthy visitors to Whitmoor Forest, near Ascot, just a 15-minute drive from their home in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The family business has just announced plans to open a second UK location and expand into Manchester. The new site will open its doors to the public in Christmas 2025.
