I visited during the Christmas Eve and it was lovely to be in Iceland, and get the glimpse of the traditional Christmas celebrations where the evenings dazzling with lights and show. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Time to rejuvenate the Christmas Eve<\/strong> <\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas in Iceland is often called \u2018Yole\u2019 in Iceland. Is indeed an exciting place to be at Christmas. I enrolled and participated in exciting winter activities during Christmas and enjoyed tons in my Iceland tour. You should give these activities a must try when in Iceland to celebrate the Christmas Eve: <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><strong>1- Skating<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the classic Christmas activity in December. Ingolfstorg square is turned into a skating rink where one can rent skates and hop on a skating ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-354 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/skating.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>2- Ride the Icelandic horse<\/strong> <\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Icelandic horses are short and stout and nothing more fun than riding on these ponies over the icy plains, truly unique experience to have in Iceland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-355\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/horse-riding.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>3- The Christmas market extravaganza<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Nothing is better than strolling through the special Christmas market with a soul relaxing cup of hot chocolate in your hand and stopping by to enjoy the Christmas carols and entertainment being performed by local groups. You can even ride a horse-drawn carriage to get to the Christmas market. It is truly a marvelous Christmas celebration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-356\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/market.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4- The Adrenaline rushing buggy ride<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want your adrenaline levels pumping and more action in your vacation then this is a must ride. It will give you gallons of a thrill as you get up the Icelandic nature up close through mountains and ford streams on a buggy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-357\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/buggy.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>5- The fermented skate \u2013 a Christmas special dish<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are in Iceland you should definitely try the fermented skate on 23<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rd<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> December. It is a popular tradition to have this dish on the auspicious occasion of Christmas and make your Xmas feast tastier and larger.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-359\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/dish.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>6- The new year\u2019s eve explosion<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is right after Christmas, the new year is welcomed all over the world. If you are in Iceland do not forget to welcome New Year with a clean slate and burn away the old year like the Icelandic tradition. The peculiar, unique and grand bonfire and firecrackers show is a must see in Iceland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-360\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/celebration.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>7- The northern lights<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are in Iceland in winters, you cannot miss the northern lights. The Aurora borealis is a stunning visual which will really make the Iceland tour a memorable one like it did for me.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-361\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/northen-lighht.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>8- Take the Christmas bath<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ever since the time of the Vikings, Icelanders have always taken undue advantage of the geothermal water for a hot bath. So, be ready to swim in a natural hot spring, a luxurious swimming pool after the dark underneath the starry sky. It is a lifetime experience to be soaking under hot spring in the chilly winter under the open beautiful starry nights<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-362\" src=\"https:\/\/tkwsdmc.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/bath.jpg\" alt=\"Christmas Iceland\" width=\"520\" height=\"349\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Merry Christmas and New Year in Iceland is truly magical and a lifetime tour you should definitely take to enjoy the season. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter is indeed a lovely time to visit Iceland.
