What a lovely end to a long, dark, cold week! I finally caught up with my Bestie, Erika from America, and we celebrated the start of the season in true Copenhagen style!
Watching the illumination of the Christmas lights at the Hotel d’Angleterre — complete with the Copenhagen Boys Choir. The square was jam-packed and it was hard to move around!
Such a magical tradition, with ooohs and aaahs from the crowd when the facade finally lit up.
Many were watching the ceremony while iceskating, ha ha!
Then we wandered over to Nyhavn harbour to warm up with our first glass of gløgg of the season…
Skål! Cheers!
Have you ever tried gløgg, and did you enjoy it? It’s mulled red wine with a mix of marinated almonds and raisins (that’s why the glass is always accompanied by a spoon, so you can scoop them up).
It’s chilly tonight in Copenhagen but there are plenty of heat lamps and blankets on hand at the cafés for those who want to sit outside.
Have you enjoyed any cozy or festive moments this week? Every day is a special occasion, take time for you today!
Have a great evening!
