Christmas Spirit Embraces Norway

Associations, clubs, school choirs, museums, galleries and farms arrange their own Christmas markets where they sell unique, handmade products at accompanying special activities and events.

Winter markets were a common tradition in Norway even before Christmas became a holiday. Many farms today sell their goods such as organic jams, home-knitted sweaters, home-made soap and herbs at these markets. Artists, both professional and amateur also use these opportunities to exhibit and sell their pieces of art. Often you can purchase paintings, glass art, pottery and jewelry in addition to specially designed clothes. The most exotic part of every market is the blending smell of mulled wine, Christmas pudding, gingerbread cookies and holiday donuts.

With all they have to offer, Christmas markets are a unique place to experience a pleasant and even old-fashioned Norwegian Christmas spirit, while finding unique and original Christmas gifts.

In the Oslo region alone, more and more Christmas markets have popped up recently. On Youngsstorget, there has been a huge Christmas market throughout December; this market has been Oslo’s largest. The National Museum of Bygdøy also organizes child-friendly Christmas markets on weekends in December, with Santa Claus workshops and market stalls.

Among all traditional markets, Designers’ Christmas market in Grünerløkka provides a different experience on Saturdays and Sundays in December.
