Tips & Advice

  • Go on Dec 5 or 6 if you want flødeboller, since the new stall selling this Danish chocolate-coated meringue treat is only there that weekend.
  • Visit on Dec 12 or 13 for Bread House Nest's stollen, panettone and rye rugbrød, because that bakery only comes for that one weekend.
  • Sign up for wreath, Nisse or dried-flower workshops in the morning, since registration for those pauses around midday and closes in the afternoon.
  • Allow up to an hour if you're making a wreath, while the reindeer keychain and the smaller dried-flower pieces can take as little as ten minutes.
