Christmas Flowers in Finland: Delivery Dates and What to Send
You can send flowers to Finland for Christmas from abroad, and a local florist will hand-deliver them to any address in the country. The timing is the tricky part. Christmas Day and Boxing Day fall on a Friday and Saturday in 2026, and flowers are not delivered on Sundays or main public holidays, so the order dates below matter.
Can You Send Flowers to Finland for Christmas From Abroad?
Yes. Order on flowersfinland.com from the US, the UK, Canada, Spain or anywhere else, and pay in USD by Visa, Mastercard or American Express, or through PayPal. A florist in Finland then delivers the order to the address you give.
You need three details: the recipient's name, their full street address and a phone number, so the florist can coordinate the drop-off. Every order includes a free printed card. Delivery covers all of Finland, including Helsinki and Tampere, and the 22 other city pages on the site. For a step-by-step walkthrough, read how to send flowers to Finland from abroad.
Which Days Have No Flower Delivery Around Christmas in Finland?
Deliveries run Monday to Saturday, with next-day delivery for orders placed before midnight Finland time. There is no delivery on Sundays or main public holidays. Around Christmas, that means Christmas Day (joulupäivä), Boxing Day (tapaninpäivä), New Year's Day (uudenvuodenpäivä) and Epiphany (loppiainen) are all closed.
Christmas Eve (jouluaatto) is not a public holiday in Finland, so it is not on the closed list. Check the calendar below before you pay.

When Should You Order Flowers for Christmas Eve in Finland?
Order by midnight Finland time on Wednesday 23 December 2026 for delivery on Thursday 24 December. That is the last order date under the next-day rule, and it leaves no room for error. The site advises ordering at least 2 to 3 days ahead for holiday dates, so placing your order around 21 or 22 December is the safer choice.
Exact time slots are not guaranteed, but you can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions, and the florist tries to meet it. Christmas Eve is the main day of the Finnish Christmas celebration, so if the morning or early afternoon suits your family, write that in the instructions.
What Flowers Are Good to Send for Christmas in Finland?
The catalog has 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants. Prices run from USD 63.24 to USD 172.49, plus a flat USD 14.95 delivery fee. A rose arrangement is a safe choice for a gift to a parent, partner or friend. The Dozen True Romance Roses suit a warmer, more personal message.
If the recipient already has cut flowers in every room, consider a plant. Plants usually last longer than cut flowers in a warm, dry home, which is useful when the house is busy over the holidays. The Heritage Crimson Planter works well for a table already decorated in red.
What Should a Christmas Flower Card Say?
Every order includes a free printed card, so the message is worth a minute of thought. Keep it short and personal. Name your relationship to the person, say why you are sending flowers, and sign with your name.
If the recipient reads Finnish, a simple Hyvää joulua (Merry Christmas) followed by one line in English works well. For a calmer tone, Rauhallista joulua (a peaceful Christmas) is a common phrase. If the recipient reads English comfortably, write the whole card in English.
How Do You Send Flowers for New Year's or Epiphany in Finland?
New Year's Day and Epiphany are public holidays with no delivery. For New Year's Eve, order by midnight on Wednesday 30 December 2026 for delivery on Thursday 31 December. Epiphany falls on Wednesday 6 January 2027, so for a delivery on Tuesday 5 January, order by midnight on Monday 4 January.
To order, go to flowersfinland.com, browse the flowers range, and choose a bouquet or plant. Enter the recipient's name, full address and phone number, write your card message, and set a preferred delivery time in the instructions. Pay in USD by international card or PayPal, and you are done.
