Celebration of Christmas in Kiruna

Your evening begins in our cozy BBQ hut in Poikkijärvi, nestled beside the frozen river, glowing with festive warmth. Inside, the scent of open-fire cooking fills the air as we prepare a traditional Sámi dish called souvas—a savory blend of lightly smoked reindeer, deer, and moose meats, served with seasonal vegetables. Cooked in the heart of the room over flames, this meal honors ancient Sámi traditions and brings everyone together in true holiday spirit.

As the fire flickers and the stars begin to peek through the Arctic sky, our guide shares stories of Sámi culture, Lapland’s rich heritage, and the magic of Christmas in the far north. Wrapped in blankets and surrounded by good company, you’ll feel the peace and wonder of the season settle in.

Then, the adventure continues. We set off in minibuses to chase the aurora borealis, guided by expert eyes and real-time forecasts. Whether the lights dance immediately or make us wait, the journey itself—under the silent, snowy sky—is part of the enchantment. And when the Northern Lights do appear, it feels like the universe is wrapping a ribbon around the night and handing you a gift you’ll never forget.

Our guides are on hand to help you capture the moment, offering tips and camera settings so you can take home your own piece of the Arctic sky.

This Christmas tour is a blend of tradition, storytelling, and nature’s most dazzling spectacle. It’s not just a night out—it’s a celebration of light, warmth, and wonder in the heart of Swedish Lapland.
