Christmas at Samfundet

Many students remain in the city during the holidays—whether because they cannot afford to travel home, have nowhere to go, or simply prefer to stay. We don’t want anyone to spend Christmas Eve alone, so Storsalen will be open all day, offering a cozy festive atmosphere, good food, and fun activities.

The main part of the evening begins with dinner at 15:30 and requires payment and registration, but Storsalen will be open from 10:30 for those who would like to bring their Christmas breakfast along and watch classic holiday TV programs together with others.

The event is open to all students—regardless of whether or not you are a member of Samfundet, and is alcohol-free.

Dress code: cozy and comfortable! Pajama bottoms and a dress shirt, a Christmas sweater, a Santa hat, reindeer antlers, strings of flashing lights, or simply whatever you happen to be wearing and feel comfortable in!
