It's impossible to escape the Yuletide spirit on a journey to Iceland throughout the holidays - a vacation to Reykjavik will be loaded with an engulfing amount of Xmas cheer. The city goes crazy for a great Christmas occasion, and starts ringing in the season in the beginning of December, with the lighting of the town's Xmas tree at Austurvöllur square. The party features choirs singing carols and the arrival of the 1st of the "Holiday Lads," 13 Santas who appear through town at the time of Lent.
Other favorite vacation sights also include the Xmas Village in Hafnarfjörður town, a tiny, merry town chock full of businesses offering holiday gifts and traditional foods amid live activities, and a tour to Reykjavik's main Christmas Market in Ingólfstorg Square, which fills with merchants selling holiday presents, mulled wine and performances from a wide variety of artists.
To take in an old-fashioned, Nordic Christmas, go to the Xmas exhibit at the Reykjavik City Museum, where exhibits show exactly how fried bread is made, tallow is employed to make candles, and guests can learn traditional Yuletide songs and dances.
