It's impossible to leave the Yuletide spirit on a trip to Iceland throughout the holidays - a vacation to Reykjavik will be filled with a vast amount of Holiday season merry-making. The city goes wild for a great Christmas festivity, and starts off ringing in the season at the end of November, with the illumination of the town's Xmas tree at Austurvöllur square. The celebration includes choirs singing carols and the arrival of the very first of the "Vacation Lads," 13 Santas who appear around town during the course of Lent.
Other preferred vacation sights also include the X-mas Village in Hafnarfjörður town, a small, festive town chockfull of shops offering for sale holiday season gifts and traditional foods in the middle of live activities, and a tour to Reykjavik's main Christmas Marketplace in Ingólfstorg Square, which fills with suppliers selling holiday gifts, mulled wine and performances from a myriad of musicians.
Finally, to experience an old-fashioned, Nordic Christmas time, visit the Christmas event at the Reykjavik City Museum, where exhibits show how fried bread is made, tallow is utilized to make candles, and guests can learn traditional Yuletide verses and dances.
