The Dutch kick off the holiday season with Sinterklaas, an age-old tradition complete with pepernoten (tasty mini cookies) and parades! Christmas Day is celebrated with good food and family fun and in between the city sparkles with bright lights, festive events, fun markets, dinner shows, ice-skating and snowy scenery – we hope!
Amsterdam rings in the New Year with fireworks, traditional oliebollen (deep-fried dough balls), events & parties and good cheer.
