It's perfect for families big and small as they get to choose between a Sleigh Ride through the twinkling lights of Killarney town or a ramble through the winter wonderland of the Killarney National Park aboard the horse-drawn Christmas Carriage.

Tickets went live on Tuesday and so far there has been great demand.

Dates for this year's rides include: November 26 and 27, December 2, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11, 16, and December 17 to January 2 - excluding the December 25, 26, and 27. 

Killarney Sleigh Rides will also be running a Christmas colouring competition in the coming weeks so keep an eye on their socials.

"We are absolutely delighted to be back again this year with a new website and a stronger presence online," Michael Tangney of Killarney Jaunting Cars and Killarney Sleigh Rides, said.

"What started out a few years ago as a small part of the Christmas in Killarney Festival has fast become a treasured family tradition for so many people. We are also running after Christmas up until January 2 and have gift vouchers available for anyone looking to give the gift of a Sleigh Ride this Christmas."

Laura Tangney added that Killarney Sleigh Rides is a wonderful festive activity for families.

"We are seeing more and more families nationwide travelling to Killarney especially for it as well as the Christmas Magic Parades so it's fantastic for the town. It's a very special part of our business and brand and we can't wait to get back on the sleighs again for what will hopefully be another great season."
