New Year's Flowers in Norway: Delivery Dates and What to Send
If you want flowers for New Year's in Norway, order by midnight on Wednesday, December 30, 2026, Norway time, for delivery on New Year's Eve (Thursday, December 31). FlowersNorway does not deliver on January 1, so if you want flowers on New Year's Day, plan for Saturday, January 2, 2027, the first delivery day of the new year.
When is the last day to order flowers for New Year's in Norway?
FlowersNorway offers next-day delivery across Norway, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before midnight local time. Same-day delivery is not offered, so the order date is the key number.
For a December 31 delivery, the order must be in before midnight on December 30 Norway time. That moment depends on where you are. Midnight in Oslo is 6 p.m. Eastern Time in winter and 11 p.m. in London. Place the order a little earlier than you think you need to, especially if you are in a time zone far from Norway.
Can flowers be delivered on New Year's Day in Norway?
No. January 1 is a main public holiday in Norway, and FlowersNorway does not deliver on main public holidays. An order placed for delivery on that day cannot be fulfilled, so do not plan around January 1.
The next delivery day is Saturday, January 2, 2027. An order placed on January 1 before midnight falls under the next-day rule and points to January 2. The site does not publish how holiday-adjacent orders are handled, so if your timing is tight, check with the team through the contact page before you pay.

What flowers suit New Year's Eve (nyttårsaften) and a New Year's visit?
Nyttårsaften is New Year's Eve in Norway. The usual greeting on the day is "Godt nytt år," which means Happy New Year, so a short note in Norwegian works well on a card.
For a host, pick a bouquet that fits in a vase on a dining table without crowding the place settings. The catalog has 152 bouquets, arrangements and plants, so start with the flower category and filter by what fits your budget and the space you have. If you want a compact bouquet for a visit, the Sweet Ribbon Posy is a good place to start.
If you want to add something to the bouquet, the listed add-ons include a box of chocolates, a glass vase, a greeting card and a wine bottle. A wine bottle or chocolates suit a New Year's visit, and a glass vase helps if the recipient does not have one.
How do I write a card message and give the florist delivery instructions?
Every order includes a free printed card, so write your message when you order. Keep it short. For example: "Godt nytt år! Wishing you a bright start to 2027. Love, Anna and the kids."
The delivery instructions box is where you give the florist practical details. Write a preferred time, such as "morning if possible" or "after 2 p.m." The florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not guaranteed, so do not plan a fixed appointment around the delivery.
Also add a note if someone else needs to receive the flowers, or if the recipient may be out for the holidays. A clear instruction helps the local florist arrange the drop-off.
What do I need to place a New Year's order from abroad?
You need three details for the recipient:
- Recipient name
- Full delivery address in Norway
- A phone number so the florist can coordinate the delivery

Frequently asked questions
Is flower delivery available on Sundays in Norway over New Year?

Can I send flowers to Norway from the United States for New Year's?

Not guaranteed. You can write a preferred time in the delivery instructions, and the florist tries to meet it, but exact time slots are not promised. Plan for the delivery to happen on the day, not at a set hour.
