We celebrate the cozy darkness days before Christmas together with candles and glögg and frosted snowflakes.
How do we here in Sweden make the darkness cozy and warm, lets find out and experience the best it has to offer.
A culinary treat to the Swedish food cuisine, only served during the darkest month of December is Julbord, the Christmas Table, a must while visiting Stockholm in the winter.
Warm yourself up in the sauna to relax and get a treat for the soul.
Dare to dip your toe or immerse fully in the cold lake to boost your energy.
Then finish up inside in the warm glow of the candles and the fireplace with some delicious foods for all the tastebuds and the very best we have to offer even for the most picky eaters.
Leave everything behind and step into a portal of peace, wellbeing and new flavors and traditions as a local.
Welcome to join me!
