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!

Taste some of our oldest Christmas treats around - Pebernødder, a small round cinnamon and cardamon cookie that we've been munching for centuries this time of the year.

Æbleskiver are the small delicious round lovechild of the doughnut and the pancake and you can find them everywhere in Denmark at this time of year. You eat them by dipping them in jam and then dipping them in icing sugar (which sticks to the jam) and seriously, they are the best!

Risalamande is the big Christmas dessert, a rice pudding topped with cherry sauce where a whole almond will be hiding. The family member who finds the almond in their bowl gets a prize or extra present.

Risengrød is a traditional Danish rice pudding that's mostly served around Christmas time. It's not just a favourite among us humans, also our Christmas elves - julenisser - are huge fans of it!

When temperatures drop, nothing warms you up better than a cup of hot gløgg, Danish mulled wine with raisins and almonds.
