I am telling you – the Christmas season in Greenland simply does not get any cosier! There are orange Christmas stars in every house and office window, the days are getting shorter each day, there are always candles lit, and there are a ton of Christmas trees all over town. Oh yeah, and there is a ton of snow and northern lights!
I have personally been in the absolute highest of holiday spirits this year – baking up a storm nearly every other day with warm fruit compotes or cranberry something-or-others, and decorating the house with festive candles and a Greenlandic mobile. Cultivating cosy has been such an enjoyment!
Here are three ways and places you, too, can get filled with the winter spirit in Greenland!
Celebrateย Christmas and New Year’s in Nuuk
Bid the sun welcome back in Ilulissat in mid-January
Have fun in the snow in Sisimiut and Kangerlussuaq
“Greenlandic mobile” Is this a light or what ?
A mobile is something that hangs from the ceiling with various little decorative things on it. Mine was made of a reindeer antler with little handmade ornaments made of sealskin and ceramic hanging down.
