Christmas House (Jólagarðurinn)

Christmas House (Jólagarðurinn)

A 10-minute drive south of the Akureyri is the bright red Christmas Garden, a shop that resembles a gingerbread house, and open year round.

The place is packed with handmade Icelandic decorations as well as imported Christmas paraphernalia from around the world.

The aroma of an ‘Icelandic Christmas’ fills the air at the store as the classic smoked lamb is often prepared here and baskets full of sweets and tasty treats prove irresistible. 

Kids of all ages will love the place!
