oh can i tell you something about gravy?? so the type of gravy you describe is in denmark called an up-baked (or bake-up) sauce/gravy, because the way you start it is also the beginning of a type biscuit. So usually in denmark you would melt the butter (or fat) then put the seasonings (whatever you like, but now a days it’s mostly just salt and pepper - although sometimes yellow curry depending on the dish) and then flour in until you can create a little ball with the mixture, and then you slowly add the milk or cream (personally i don’t like it with cream, i like my gravy sort of thin), and lastly, if you are making the classic brown gravy, you add a product called “kulør”, which is mostly colour (brown) but it also has some taste, but i don’t think i would call it a spice. (tumbler won’t let me change paragraph) So, we bake all sort of “pepper”(/spice) cakes/biscuits for christmas (very similar to gingerbread) one of those are pebernødder (pepper nuts) which way back in the day was used as sauce/gravy starters! because they already had all the good spices in and they had a long shelf life! I think it a neat piece of history - although these days pebernødder aren’t started that way and they have baking power in, which makes for a bad gravy but good biscuits. Okay, that was it!

thank you for sharing that with me!

None of these things are pebernødder, wtf, someone needs to fix English Wikipedia's cookie-nut pages

ed tw . i am so so scared to go home for xmas

my flight leaves in 24h and i work 7pm-3am, so i that means i have to wake up early to clean the house & do laundry & pack

but also literally none of my fucking clothes fit so now i also have to panic-shop for at least 2 outfits before work ���👍

i almost cried over vegan chicken tenders tonight and i earnestly have no idea know how i'm going to get through the next 6 days

i've already committed to 3 nights of drinking with friends + 4 meal-based outings + dinners with family, and my mum has baked pebernødder and brunkager and my dad made poundcake for me and i desperately want to participate and enjoy and relax but i'm just like. terrified!

i've gone a full month at my current level of restriction without binging & it’s been so easy & now i have to change my routine and eat like triple what i've gotten used to. & logically it'll be fine, 6 days is a drop in the bucket, but this stupid shitty disease makes it feel like the end of the world

i've never been so glad to not own a scale bc if i find out how much i gain within the next week i will throw myself in front of a fucking car 🤪 /jk

it's getting to the point where i know i need help, but it's useless to seek it out because i don't actually want to stop what i'm doing

so i'm just here.

whatever.

Delicious Cuisines and Homemade Crafts – Ideal Gifts to Buy at Copenhagen Christmas Markets

There is little like a magical Christmas market to celebrate the festive season, with the scents of traditional food, twinkling lights and soaring Christmas trees, accompanied by a dusting of snow in the crisp December air.

Copenhagen Christmas markets are often considered the best in Europe, with multiple markets to choose between, from the famous celebrations in Tivoli Gardens to the Hans Christian Andersen Christmas Market, where little ones can visit Santa Claus to make the day even more memorable.

In this article, the team at the Baltic Travel Company has compiled a guide to the perfect gifts, Christmas decorations and sweet treats to buy at any of the Christmas markets dotted throughout the Danish capital city with some tips and advice for first-time visitors to ensure you make the most of your winter holidays.

Choosing Which Christmas Markets in Copenhagen to Visit

As we’ve indicated, there are many Christmas markets within the city, set against the backdrop of Copenhagen’s canals, cosy atmosphere and the architecture that is synonymous with Danish design.

While the best Christmas market in Copenhagen might be subjective, here are a few of our very favourites to visit during Christmas time:

Nytorv Square Christmas Market is held in the largest square in the city next to the Royal Theatre, Charlottenborg Palace and the Magasin Department Store. The market extends down to Nyhavn, with myriad charming stalls to visit while kayaks sail around the harbour.

Højbro Square Christmas Market in the city centre is a stunning market, bracketed by wooden stalls illuminated by 180,000 sparkling lights, with a range of heritage artisans to watch spin their crafts, such as blown glass and handmade wool.

The HC Andersen Christmas Market is smaller and based on the culture and history of Denmark, with a Christmas carousel that is a gorgeous photo opportunity.

Tivoli Gardens, the renowned theme park and visitor attraction, has a world of festive fantasy with rides, shows, performances and fireworks to offset the stalls and cafes.

Most of the Copenhagen Christmas markets are open for late-night shopping on Thursday and open between November and mid-December, with hotel recommendations available within walking distance from our experienced travel advisers.

Sampling the Delights of Traditional Danish Treats

The food typically served within a Copenhagen Christmas market is itself worth a visit, with an endless array of powdered sugar cookies, warming red wine, sweet apple slices, and other delicious snacks to try in between shopping, ice skating, or watching the floating Santa Lucia Parade.

Visitors can embrace the cosy setting of a local café or Copenhagen Old Town while they watch the traditional Danish Santa Lucia Parade or join in with carol singing and boat rides alongside the Nyhavn Christmas Market on the quayside.

You can purchase konfekt – made from marzipan, chocolate and nougat – as a special gift, buy vanilje kranse, or bow-shaped biscuits, or pick up some delightful snebolde (snowball) treats coated with a coconut topping.

During Christmas time, many shoppers also indulge in a hot dog cooked over smoking coals and a cup of sweet, fragrant mulled wine to keep themselves toasty while they soak up the sights and fragrances of a bustling Copenhagen Christmas market.

Looking for a festive gift that offers an alternative take on Christmas cuisine for a foodie friend back home? Head for one of the stalls selling brun kage or pebernødder (loosely translated as pepper cookies), a quintessentially Danish Christmas treat you won’t find anywhere else in the world.

Unique Gifts and Crafts to Look for in Christmas Markets in Copenhagen

A Copenhagen Christmas market is an amazing place to search for beautiful decorations, gifts and handmade items that will mean the world to the recipient – and you’ll have a wonderful time as you shop!

There are stalls selling everything from crafts and clothing to artwork, clocks, baubles, leather goods, garlands, glassware, wooden ornaments, children’s toys and knitted items that are a testament to the skill and passion of the artisans behind them.

If you’re stuck for inspiration, here are some of the gifts you can buy at almost any Copenhagen Christmas market:

Scandinavian hand-poured scented candles set in elegant glass votives are a must-have present for family members.

Ceramics and jewellery should be carefully packaged to keep them safe on your way home, but a handmade piece of Danish tableware or a gorgeous brooch will be sure to delight.

For kids, our preference has to be the traditional wooden toys, puppets, carousels and even chess sets. They will last generations and are lovingly crafted with exquisite attention to detail.

Nothing beats Danish knitwear for warmth and cosiness, and a pair of snug hand-woven socks, gloves or a scarf will easily banish the December chill at home in the UK.

Alongside these wares, you’ll find a wealth of decorations such as trinkets, ornaments and baubles to hang on your own tree or display over your hearth bringing the holiday spirit to Christmas Eve and Christmas Day celebrations.

Copenhagen Christmas Market Shopping FAQs

If this is your first time visiting a Copenhagen Christmas market, we appreciate that a few pointers may prove helpful and ensure you find the best Christmas markets and know the confirmed dates well before you travel.

While every Christmas market has convenient opening hours and will guarantee a wonderful atmosphere, it’s normally fine to pay via card if you aren’t carrying Kroner with you – although some stalls selling smaller items prefer cash, most have card readers.

The biggest Christmas markets in Copenhagen are enchanting but may be overwhelming for infants or those with mobility needs. Tivoli Christmas Market is among the most visited, but we’d suggest a trip in November to avoid the crowds and when the queues for the rides will be shorter.

Finally, city break copenhagen as a city is very walkable, and the public transport system is reliable and low-cost. However, if you’re worried about walking long distances, it’s best to note that most Christmas markets don’t open until around the late morning, and you should pre-book a taxi if you wish to ensure your day is comfortable and well-organised.

If you’d like further information or advice about planning your trip to visit the best Christmas markets in Copenhagen or other Christmas holidays, please get in touch or browse our short holiday break packages online.

I hate winter, but at least I love christmas. The dark days are drawing closer fast, but I comfort myself with the knowledge that they'll be filled with pebernødder and æbleskiver and nisser and presents and gløgg and julekalender. Maybe I'll even reread Julemandens Død this year, who knows? Winter may be the ninth circle of hell, but christmas can at least keep me from wanting to kill myself.
