Hundreds of little helpers will be providing Heathrow passengers with 10,000 Christmas gifts this festive season.
The presents will be given out across all four terminals in the run up to new year in a bid to spread Christmas cheer.
They will be selected from the airportâs shops, bars and restaurants and include free flights and lounge access, as well as Chanel perfumes, Pret breakfasts and designer makeup from World Duty Free.
This December will be the biggest Christmas getaway in three years.
More than three million passengers are expected to travel through Heathrow in the last two weeks of the month for festive breaks at home and abroad â double that of the same period last year.
To further add to passengersâ Christmas spirit, Heathrow has launched an advent calendar on its website and app, containing offers for those travelling through the airport until 25 December.
Behind the windows lie discounts from Heathrow shops, bonus points from Heathrow Rewards, exclusive World Duty Free promotions and deals on festive-inspired food and beverage menus.
Tonia Fielding, director of services at Heathrow, said: âAfter three years of restricted travel, we are looking forward to welcoming millions of passengers who will be passing through Heathrow this December to go on festive breaks with family and friends.
"We have been working closely with all our partners across the airport to recruit more colleagues to provide a great airport experience.
"We want to ensure passengers can depart as they mean to go on and enjoy the holiday season from the moment they arrive at Heathrow. We hope our Little Helpers will spread a bit of festive spirit this Christmas.â
Heathrowâs Little Helpers will be easily recognisable, donning purple Santa hats and located near one of the 25 Christmas trees spread across the terminals.
Passengers just need to keep an eye out to kick start their festivities ahead of their flight.
The little extra festive cheer may well be needed by passengers at Heathrow travelling on days when Border Force strikes are planned.
It was announced this afternoon that airport workers represented by the PCS Union will walk out of Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, Gatwick, Heathrow and Manchester airports, as well as New Haven port on 23, 24, 25, 28, 29 and 30.
PCS general secretary Mark Serwotka said: âThe government can stop these strikes tomorrow if it puts money on the table.
âLike so many workers, our members are struggling with the cost-of-living crisis. They are desperate. They are being told there is no money for them, while they watch ministers giving out government contracts worth billions of pounds to their mates.
âSome sections of the media have accused us of playing politics with these strikes. Let me be clear: our dispute is with the employer.
âWe will fight to improve our membersâ pay, terms and conditions regardless of who is in Downing Street.â
