It’s the most wonderful time of the year in Scandinavia! Imagine donning a crown of candles in celebration of St. Lucia Day (December 13th) in Gothenburg, Sweden’s Christmas city, walking streets bathed in the glow of thousands of luminaries. See yourself browsing for holiday gifts at the Liseberg market— a winter wonderland decorated with five million twinkling lights and 700 Christmas trees—then stopping to hear the Singing Tree— a choir in the shape of a Christmas tree!

In Denmark, get your jingle bells on in the Tivoli Gardens—the amusement park that was the inspiration for Disneyland— enjoying a synchronized light parade as you munch on holiday sweets like hazelnut macaroons. Or set off for Bergen in Norway to see Pepperkakebyen, the world’s largest gingerbread village! Hungry for more adventures? Feast on seasonal specialties like lussekatter (saffron buns) in a Stockholm café . . . walk through the postcard-perfect village of Bryggen in Norway, with its colorful leaning rows of gabled buildings dating back to the 1700s . . . warm up at Iceland’s Blue Lagoon, a black-lava field with geothermal waters rich in mineral salts. Then treat yourself to a dazzling present from Mother Nature: the beautiful night sky glimmering neon green with the mysterious Northern Lights, a cosmic wonder at its most mesmerizing in Scandinavia!

A visit to Santa Claus Village in Finland includes meeting Father Christmas at his home in the Arctic Circle and taking a toboggan ride with one of his reindeer!

Above the Arctic Circle, Sweden’s Lapland region unfolds with pristine snowdrifts, endless forests and vast stretches of wilderness that are home to hundreds of polar bears!
