Coach Trip is back on the road for a special Christmas series - a northerly mission to meet Santa Claus in Lapland. Starting in Trondheim, Norway, the coach heads off for 15 days of festive fun, but not everyone will survive the dreaded vote and stay to the end. Brendan is back - full of seasonal spirit and eager to meet his new gang of festive fans and Yuletime scrooges.

The day begins with a shock departure that upsets the group. Brendan attempts a cultural morning touring the city's sights, but all the tourists want to do is shop. A lunch of a Paris cuisine snails isn't a great success. And the afternoon is spent at the world's only volcano-themed park before one tourist erupts at the vote.

In Bilbao there's more Basque-country fun with some rural sports before the group hit the beach for an afternoon's surfing.

Brendan's plan to take the group on a cultural visit to one of Christianity's holiest pilgrimage sites is ruined as war breaks out in the group when one of the newer couples plays a secret recording featuring a coach veteran in the hope of manipulating the voting. Two more new arrivals are soon dragged into the argument and Brendan struggles to maintain control. The vote is one to remember.

Brendan stretches the group in more ways than one with a seaside yoga lesson before they enjoy a medieval adventure in the picturesque town of Obidos in Portugal.

The passengers are joined by a preacher and her husband as they celebrate their departure from France and enter Germany.

They also dress formally for an afternoon watching horse racing, but one couple's enjoyment of bright outfits and shouting meets the disapproval of their fellow tourists.
