Britannia Hotel has been synonymous with Christmas celebrations in Trondheim since the 1870's! Join us during the run up to Christmas, and on the day itself, enjoy our festive traditions and make it a year to remember.

Between the 23rd and 26th December, you can take advantage of our new Christmas Package, and enjoy a luxurious holiday in the heart of Trondheim, with all the trimmings. Stay for up to three nights, with accommodation in one of our luxurious rooms, a fantastic à la carte breakfast in the venerable Palmehaven every morning, entry to Britannia Spa & Fitness and great Christmas dinners.

There's toddy, mulled wine, gingerbread and pleasant Christmas music in Britannia Bar, and daily screenings of classic Christmas films for kids every day. On Christmas Eve, you can wake up refreshed to a Christmas stocking hanging on the door, followed by a day laden with traditional culinary treats.

Children will feel like litte princes and princesses, with hot chocolate and Christmas sweets delivered to your room in style. The whole family can enjoy a fantastic Christmas dinner in Palmehaven where guests choose from all their favourite Christmas dishes on our great buffet. After dinner, the cosiness continues in Britannia Bar with coffee and traditional Christmas cakes.

As the nights draw in and the fairy lights go up, Trondheim takes on an air of enchantment, full of excitement and suspense. Whether you are planning a Christmas meal with friends and family, coming to town for a weekend of shopping, or looking for some fantastic live entertainment to get the holidays started, Britannia has your seasonal celebrations covered.

Book a long weekend at the hotel, reserve your julebord at one of our restaurants (more info about 'Christmas Tables' below) or check out our culture calendar, which is stacked full of goodies this year.

The reveal of Britannia's beautiful Christmas decorations and the lighting of the lights always generates a lot of excitement in the run-up to Christmas. Everyone is welcome to join us 18th November.

The lighting of the Christmas lights is a the culmination of a performance which start at the top of Nordre gate. Guests are invited to meet in Nordre gate (by Mercurgården) at 16:20. The performance starts at 16:30, and takes you all through midtown, ending up at Britannia Hotell. The performance lasts approximately 35 min.

There will be free gløgg (non-alcoholic mulled wine) and entertainment, and possibly a visit from a bearded old man in a red suit and hat!

No Christmas in Norway is complete without a traditional julebord. As the snow slowly falls down in front of the entrance, you and your guests will be given a warm welcome by our doormen. You will be shown to your table in one of our many rooms, restaurants and celebratory spaces, perhaps via Britannia Bar or Vinabren, for a seasonal aperitif.
