Embark on a flavorful journey through Reykjavik’s holiday traditions with the Reykjavik Christmas Food Tour by Your Friend in Reykjavik. This festive experience combines Iceland’s most beloved Christmas foods and drinks with the warmth of local storytelling.
As you stroll through streets glowing with twinkling lights, you’ll taste smoked lamb with its rich and robust flavor, along with the sweet, crispy laufabrauð (leaf bread). You’ll also sample glazed Hamborgarhrygg (Christmas ham), reindeer paté, tangy pickled herring, and flavorful gravlax. Each dish reveals a part of Iceland’s cherished Christmas traditions.
To complement the food, you’ll sip on festive drinks. Try Jólaöl, Iceland’s Christmas ale, or the classic malt & appelsín, a favorite non-alcoholic holiday mix. For extra warmth, enjoy Jólaglögg mulled wine—or choose hot cocoa if you prefer.
The tour ends with a stop at the charming Little Christmas Store, filled with decorations, handmade crafts, and seasonal treasures. As a special keepsake, you’ll also receive a locally inspired gift.
Throughout the experience, your local guide will share stories, history, and cultural insights that bring each dish and drink to life. The festive atmosphere, combined with Icelandic flavors, makes this an unforgettable holiday adventure.
We’re also happy to accommodate dietary needs—just let us know when booking, and we’ll tailor the tour to you.
