Christmas weekends in Scandinavia – experience the Nordic Christmas

Christmas in the Nordics is full of light in the darkness – candles in the windows, mulled wine and gingerbread, Christmas markets in old town centers, and snow-covered landscapes that look like they are taken from a fairy tale.

Here we gather hotels and weekend destinations for the Christmas season in Scandinavia – from Copenhagen's Christmas-decorated Tivoli and classic grand hotels in Oslo and Trondheim to snowy lodges in Lapland. Find your Christmas weekend and experience the Nordic Christmas at its best.
