Ah, Christmas in Denmark...

...there's nothing quite like it. Feel Denmark at its warmest in December, our peak hygge season. Come and enjoy our naughty elves (we call them nisse), discover an almond hidden in your rice pudding, try dancing around a Christmas tree and take in the sights, sounds and scents of a traditional Danish Christmas. Glædelig jul!
