Yule Love Iceland This Christmas With Not One But 13 Father Christmases

Icelandair Hotels

Celebrate Christmas this year at Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina with not one Father Christmas but Iceland's 13 Yule Lads.


Reykjavik comes alive at Christmas with Game Feasts, singing, fireworks and bonfires and Icelandair Hotel Reykjavik Marina is in the heart of the action overlooking the picturesque harbour. With a white Christmas guaranteed and exquisite Icelandic Christmas food on offer at Slippbarinn Restaurant, there is no better place to capture the true spirit of Christmas.


Open presents next to the warmth of the fire place, sip hot chocolate and hear tales of the evil ogress Gryla who dwells in the mountains with her 13 prankster sons; the Jolasveinar (Yuletide Lads), who are named after their various vices such as Pottasleikir (Pot Licker), Tvorusleikir (Spoon Licker) and Hurdaskellir (Door Slammer). 13 days before Christmas Day, the Yule Lads one by one venture down the mountain and sneak into family's homes bearing gifts, sweets and pranks.
