Just when you thought the Fletchers couldn’t get any more wholesome, they’re swapping the familiar pastures of their family farm for a winter wonderland adventure in the Arctic Circle. This Christmas special sees Kelvin, Liz, and their brood braving sub-zero temperatures in Finland, all in the name of festive farm exploration.
Trading wellies for snow boots, the Fletchers will visit a fellow farming family thriving in the challenging conditions of the Arctic Circle. Expect stunning scenery, heartwarming cross-cultural exchanges, and the inevitable Fletcher family antics as they experience traditional Nordic winter activities. Reindeer selfies are practically guaranteed.
Beyond the festive fun, this special aims to offer insights into the realities of farming in an extreme climate. How do crops grow under near-constant darkness? What livestock can withstand such frigid temperatures? The Fletchers aim to answer these questions and more, highlighting the resourcefulness and resilience of farmers in this unique environment.
Of course, no Fletchers’ adventure would be complete without some encounters with the local wildlife. Expect close-ups of adorable Arctic animals, because ITV1 knows what the people want. So, if you’re looking for a blend of education, escapism, and heartwarming family moments this holiday season, tune in to ITV1 on Sunday, December 29, 2024, at 6pm.
