Description

Discover the magic of Iceland’s holiday season with a special adventure available only on Advent weekends leading up to Christmas. Immerse yourself in Icelandic holiday traditions, folklore, and festivities. Start at the Christmas Market in Heiðmörk Nature Reserve, where you can browse artisan stalls, enjoy seasonal treats, and soak in the serene winter landscape. Keep your eyes open—rumor has it that Iceland’s Yule Lads, the playful Icelandic “Santas,” may be wandering around, ready to share their unique holiday spirit or even cause a bit of mischief. Next, head to the Christmas Village, Jólaþorpið, in Hafnarfjörður. Here, festive wooden stalls, handmade gifts, and Icelandic treats create a warm holiday atmosphere. But don’t be too comfortable—you might even catch a glimpse of the legendary Grýla, the troll mother of the Yule Lads, who’s known for her fearsome reputation. Finally, journey to Downtown Reykjavik, where you can skate on the Christmas Ice Rink, explore the Little Christmas Store, and delight in holiday displays. Along the way, spot the ferocious Christmas Cat, known for prowling around during the season and looking for anyone without new clothes for the holiday. Enjoy a cozy hot drink to keep you warm as you hear more about these Icelandic holiday tales from your guide. Plus, as a special touch, each guest will receive a gift from underneath a beautifully decorated Christmas tree, a little token of Iceland’s holiday spirit.
