Ever dreamed of celebrating the holidays somewhere that feels like it’s straight out of a storybook? Picture this: snow crunching under your boots, the Northern Lights dancing above your head, and cozy traditions that make the long winter nights feel warm. That’s exactly what Iceland offers in December, and GJ Travel has lined up experiences that turn that dream into something you can actually live.
From December 23 to 27, GJ Travel runs a five-day adventure that feels more like stepping into a holiday movie than a tour. It’s not about rushing from one stop to another it’s about soaking in Reykjavik’s festive vibe, walking through the famous Golden Circle, and gazing at Reykjanes’ otherworldly landscapes. And let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like watching the sky burst into shades of green and purple while you’re wrapped in winter gear, hot drink in hand. That’s a memory that sticks.
Between December 29 and January 2, there’s a second trip designed to celebrate the start of a brand-new year. The twist? Instead of just fireworks and champagne, you’re chasing frozen waterfalls, walking along black lava beaches, and capping it all off with a dip in the Blue Lagoon’s steaming waters. It’s equal parts adventure and calm a mix that makes saying goodbye to one year and hello to the next feel more meaningful than any crowded city countdown.
Not everyone wants to travel with a group, and GJ Travel gets that. Their tailor-made options let you pick your pace. Maybe it’s a quiet dinner in Reykjavik’s finest restaurant or a retreat in the countryside where silence is only broken by crunching snow. These private escapes give you control over the vibe, whether you want something low-key, celebratory, or a bit of both.
The company isn’t just keeping its magic within Iceland. In 2025, they’re showing up at travel fairs in Lisbon, Frankfurt, Singapore, and London. That’s not just a business move it’s a signal that they’re ready to bring more people into Iceland’s winter story. Because once you’ve seen the Northern Lights for yourself, it’s hard not to want to share that wonder with the world.
