Hotels near Jul i Vinterland at Spikersuppa

Jul i Vinterland is the largest Oslo Christmas market and the only one in central Oslo open every day of the week. It fills Spikersuppa, the long park alongside Karl Johans gate, from 7 November 2026 to 3 January 2027, closing only on Christmas Eve, according to Visit Oslo.

Wooden stalls sell Norwegian souvenirs, knitwear, crafts and festive food, from smultringer (Norwegian doughnuts) to reindeer sausages and gløgg. Children can ride the merry-go-round and the helter-skelter, and the Ferris wheel offers views over the decorated city centre. The Spikersuppa ice rink, one of Norway's best-known outdoor rinks, sits at the heart of the market.

In 2025, the market opened from noon to 8pm from Monday to Thursday, noon to 9pm on Fridays, 10am to 9pm on Saturdays and 10am to 8pm on Sundays.

Pro Tip: Ride the Ferris wheel after dark for the best views of the lights along Karl Johans gate, then try a warm smultring with a cup of gløgg.
