Christmas coming to Oslo

#magicalxmastrip #oslo Oslo at Christmas is pure Nordic magic, with snowy streets, twinkling lights, and festive cheer everywhere you look. Start in Spikersuppa, where the ice rink glows under fairy lights. Glide (or stumble) your way through the heart of the city before warming up with a cup of gløgg (Norwegian mulled wine). Next, wander the Christmas markets at Youngstorget or in front of Oslo’s Cathedral. Shop for handmade crafts, nibble on pepperkaker (gingerbread cookies), and savor the scent of roasted almonds in the frosty air. Dive into Norway’s holiday traditions at Frogner Park, which is especially magical in the snow, or head to the Norwegian Folk Museum for Christmas crafts and carols by candlelight. Feeling adventurous? Take a trip up to Holmenkollen for panoramic views and skiing vibes. End your day with a cozy feast of ribbe (roast pork) or pinnekjøtt (lamb ribs) at a local restaurant. Don’t forget the Christmas dessert: riskrem, topped with sweet berry sauce and a hidden almond for luck. Oslo at Christmas is more than a holiday—it’s a snow-dusted fairytale with cozy corners, festive treats, and plenty of winter charm.
