Experience Details

This immersive experience offers a delightful exploration of Iceland's beloved holiday cuisine and beverages under the direction of passionate local guides.


Traverse the enchanting streets adorned with twinkling lights as you indulge in succulent smoked lamb, renowned for its robust flavors, alongside the sweet buttery laufabrauð (leaf bread), intricately patterned and fried to crispy perfection. Delve deeper into the culinary delights with samples of special glazed Hamborgarhrygg, iconic reindeer paté, flavorful gravlax, and tangy pickled herring, each dish showcasing the diverse and cherished traditions celebrated during Christmas in Reykjavik.


Sip on festive Christmas drinks like Jólaöl, a traditional Icelandic Christmas ale; malt & appelsín, a beloved non-alcoholic Christmas beverage; and Jólaglögg mulled wine, adding a warm and aromatic touch to the holiday experience. We can substitute the Jólaglögg for hot cocoa if you want.
