The annual Icelandic Christmas concert Frostroses (In Icelandic: Frostrosir), held in Reykjavik, Iceland, is one of Iceland's most cherished Christmas traditions. "Frostrosir" is the Icelandic term for the flower-like patterns that form on windows when frost is present. Begun in 2002, the event brings together well-known performers. Many of them come from Northern Europe countries.
