It’s especially cold and dark in December in the Scandinavian countries, so we need as many holiday traditions as possible to cheer us up and push us through to spring. If you’re in need of some inspiration this holiday season, read on, and I’ll tell you how you can have your own Scandi-inspired Christmas and New Year’s!
What do Scandinavians love to eat at Christmastime? That’s the topic of today’s post. As we get deeper into December, I thought this would be a fun topic to tackle, so I’m going to share with you 3 different baked goods from each of the 3 Scandinavian countries!

If you’ve ever been so lucky to have a Dane in your life, you know that we love Christmas. Perhaps it’s because it gets so dark in Scandinavia in the wintertime and we need something to cheer us up. Whatever the reason, we have about a million traditions to get ourselves in the festive holiday mood.
Gløgg is mulled wine – an absolutely classic winter and autumn drink. In Denmark, it is typically consumed around Christmastime, and the more common version is made with red wine.
