St. Stephen’s Day, also known as Boxing Day or Second Day of Christmas, is celebrated on December 26th. This day is typically spent a lot like Christmas Day. Families spend time together eating food, watching holiday movies, playing games, or visiting with extended family. Unlike Christmas Day, however, the bars and clubs are open late so Icelanders often choose to spend the night partying.
