Christmas & New Year Guides

Christmas in Lapland means Santa Claus experiences, snow, short blue-light days and long aurora nights; Iceland adds its Yule Lads, markets and Reykjavik's New Year fireworks.
These guides explain what happens on and around the holidays, what is open on 24 to 26 December and 1 January, and how early the peak weeks book up.
