The Christmas Village — Piping Hot Kleinur Straight from Brikk’s Pot

The Christmas spirit is alive in Hafnarfjörður

This year, visitors of the Christmas Village in Hafnarfjörður will be able to watch the Brikk team frying kleinur and ástarpungar right in the central Christmas house. “We pour our heart and soul into this,” says Þórarinn Þórarinsson, known as Dengsi at Brikk, who is now heading into the second of six Christmas Village weekends.

This year, Brikk has partnered with other Hafnarfjörður businesses to turn the village’s central house into its lively heart. Among other things, they will be serving hot chocolate in collaboration with Góa, in specially branded Christmas Village mugs.

“We’re also offering a custom-made Ali Christmas sausage in a bun. A generous sausage — the Christmas Sausage 2025,” he says. Te & Kaffi will be teaming up with them, as will Ölgerðin. “We’ll have tiramisu, Baileys Christmas coffee and Christmas beer, so people on their way to Jóla Hólm, concerts or other events can stop by.”

Brikk also runs one of its cafés on Norðurbakki in Hafnarfjörður. “Brikk is more than what you see. We serve hotels, cafés and for example bake all the bread for Jómfrúin. We also supply Landspítalinn and collaborate closely with Te & Kaffi.” He says the atmosphere at Brikk is always good.

“It’s always fun coming to work and spending time with people who, over the years, have become fantastic friends,” says Dengsi. He describes the Christmas Village as a uniquely enjoyable experience.

“I encourage everyone to come and enjoy it with us this year.”
