Christmas is coming at us hard and fast – only a few more days left to secure the final gifts and groceries! In Denmark, Christmas is full of lots of strange traditions that actually start in the days leading up to the holiday.
Christmas is coming up soon, and we are super excited for some much-needed time with family! We would say that one of the best ways to spend time with family over the holidays is baking cookies together.
December 13th is Saint Lucy’s Day (Luciadag), a Christian holiday that Scandinavia celebrates. It is an imported Swedish holiday in Denmark, so most of our traditions stem from Sweden.
Happy December first! It’s the best month of the year (NOT up for debate, my friends) and we are so excited! December is a month of joy, family, snow, hygge, and most importantly, good food and plenty of sweets.
Today is the last day of 2020, and we plan on celebrating by eating lots of good food! Generally, on New Year’s Eve, we love serving a variety of small appetizers and finger foods.
This dessert is probably one of the most unique Scandinavian cakes we can think of. “Kransekage” translates to “wreath cake,” and is basically a stack of baked and decorated marzipan rings.
Christmas may be over, but that doesn’t mean we stop eating sweets! This awkward period between Christmas and New Year’s is the perfect time to kick back and enjoy life.
It’s December 24th, and we’ve been gearing up for this day for weeks! Tonight is the night that we Danes celebrate Christmas. And there is so much good food to look forward to!
These jødekager, or Jewish cookies, are one of our absolute favorite Christmas cookies. They’re pretty simple – a sugar and butter cookie as a base, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and chopped almonds.
