Northern Lights At Christmas

It’s entirely up to you if you want to visit Iceland, Sweden, Norway, or Finland, but December is the darkest time of the year, therefore it is likelier that you are going to see the Northern Lights but sometimes this can be offset by the clouds in the sky at this time of the year. By combining the festive season with a trip to see the Northern Lights, you will find that it will be a magical experience.

Not only may you see the Northern Lights from the comfort of an igloo or an ice hotel, but you can visit some cities to learn more about the holiday traditions of the Christmas season. This type of holiday will be completely unique, and could be the perfect gift to experience with family and friends.

 

Different activities and packages to do around Christmas time

There are a variety of activities and packages to potentially take advantage of when you go on your trip to see the Northern Lights. Essentially, the Northern Lights should act as the backbone of your Christmas trip. Some packages at Christmas time will let you experience:

 

  • Santa’s Lapland, where you can meet Santa before you see the Northern Lights
  • Wilderness escapes
  • Whale watching
  • Snowmobile safaris
  • Experiences at a spa lodge
  • Dogsled tours or husky safaris
  • Glass roof aurora cabins, igloos, bubbles, or ice domes

 

Of course, these are only a few examples of activities that you can enjoy on Northern Lights holiday packages. However, you should also spend some time looking at the traditions of your holiday’s location. You may be able to visit markets, buffets, or traditional events so that you can learn about your chosen location’s culture.

 

You should also take a moment to look at the other geographical treasures of the country you are visiting. That way, you can learn more about the area and maybe even find some gifts that you can take home as Christmas presents for your friends and family.

 

Northern Lights Christmas holidays: are you ready to book?

Instead of buying Christmas presents for your loved ones, you, your family, and friends could all be together on a Northern Lights Christmas holiday. The memories that you will make will be worth more than any materialistic gift you could buy.
