🎄 The final squad of Yule Lads has arrived! Let's meet these festive troublemakers:

These final five definitely take the cake (and the meat, and the candles...) 😂

These 5 will be paying a visit over the next coming days:

👉🏼 Bjúgnakrækir, who lurks in rafters snatching smoked sausages

👉🏼 Gluggagægir, our window peeper who just loves admiring your holiday decor (not creepy at all... right? 😅)

👉🏼 Gáttaþefur, with his supersized nose sniffing out fallen treats

👉🏼 Ketkrókur, the meat-loving brother with his trusty hook

👉🏼 Kertasníkir, who thinks your candles look like snacks (yum?)

And that's the complete family of 13! Save all our Yule Lad posts to remember these quirky Christmas visitors ✨

And tell me in the comments...

What's worse - Kertasníkir stealing all your candles or Ketkrókur and Bjúgnakrækir teaming up to steal ALL your meat? 😅

🚨 Heading to Iceland during the holidays? Read

🚨 Heading to Iceland during the holidays? Read this first 👇🏼

Did you know Icelanders celebrate Christmas Eve on December 23rd, with their big Christmas Day celebrations kicking off on the 24th?

While you can explore Iceland's natural wonders 24/7, businesses run on special holiday hours December 23-26 and December 31-January 1.

So be sure to pay close attentions and double-check when booking any tours and attraction.

Plus, Iceland is kind of a crowd favorite during the holidays. People flock from all over to soak in Reykjavík’s festive charm and experience their mesmerizing fireworks show on NYE!

So planning ahead is KEY 🔑

Lock in those Christmas buffet (jólahlaðborð) reservations and maybe stock up on some groceries the 23rd to be fully prepared for a magical holiday season in Iceland 🎁

Save valuable suitcase space... steer clear of packing these items for your Iceland adventure 👇

Skip the umbrella, cash, and dressy clothes. Leave the horseback riding gear behind (it’s illegal!)

And if you’re bringing a camera, make sure you know how to use it. (psst...or a smartphone will do most of the time!)

Now that you know what to skip, figure out what’s an Iceland MUST-HAVE with my Ultimate Iceland Packing Guide. It’s your key to stress-free packing! 🇮🇸

Comment “PACK” below and I’ll send it your way ⬇️

🎄 Time to meet our next batch of Yule Lads!

These mischievous brothers definitely keep things... interesting 😅

Over the next few days, Icelanders will be getting a visit from these guys:

👉🏼 Þvörusleikir, who never met a spoon he didn't want to lick (especially if there's cake batter involved!)

👉🏼 Askasleikir, the sneaky bowl licker who hides under beds waiting for leftovers

👉🏼 Hurðaskellir, who just can't resist slamming doors (much to his mother's annoyance)

👉🏼 Skyrgámur, our skyr-obsessed friend who loves sliding down mountains

Keep your eyes peeled in the coming days as we continue meeting our festive troll family! ✨

And in the comments….

Tell me you're a Skyrgámur without telling me you're a Skyrgámur... I'll go first: I have 3 different flavors of Skyr in my fridge right now 😅

🎄 Meet the first four of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads

🎄 Meet the first four of Iceland's 13 Yule Lads - our mischievous highland trolls who visit children one by one in the days before Christmas!

These quirky brothers come down from the mountains leaving small gifts (or potatoes if you're naughty 😅) in children's shoes.

First up we have:

👉🏼 Stekkjastaur with his creaky knees (you can hear him coming!)

👉🏼 Giljagaur, the shy giant who keeps our Christmas Cat in check

👉🏼 Stubby, the smallest but most charming of the bunch

👉🏼 Pottasleikir, who can't resist licking leftover soup from your pots

Keep your eyes peeled to meet more of our festive troll family over the coming days! ✨

If you were a Yule Lad, what would your quirky trait be? I think I'd be Coffeestealer who sneaks sips of everyone's morning coffee 😅
