Here is your -winner, Yi-Jen 🍪🤎⁠

The jury had a hard time picking a winner since we were blessed with an incredible amount of creative cookie tins, ranging from instruments, bird feeders, and zen gardens to sewing kits, fossilised shark teeth and cat whiskers 🤯⁠

But we were blown away by Yi-Jen's butter cookie tin, which contained 25 handmade travel memories arranged like an advent calendar (just in time for Christmas) inspired by her latest trip to Copenhagen 🇩🇰🦢🚲⁠

We asked Yi-Jen to say a few words about participating in the competition: ⁠

“Participating in the contest allowed me to share my passion for creativity and handmade designs inspired by my travel memories. ⁠
I’m excited to visit Copenhagen in March and draw inspiration from the city’s architecture, design, and amazing food!”⁠

As icing on the cake, Yi-Jen decided to create a small cookie tin containing some small -cookies as a way of celebrating her victory 🍪🤎⁠

We want to thank all of you who played along and shared your butter cookie tins with us 🫶⁠

Lucia in kayaks? That’s so Danish 🇩🇰🛶

The must-experience Christmas event of the year is happening today!

December 13th is the celebration of Santa Lucia Day in schools, churches, and homes across Denmark. Adopted in 1944 from Sweden, this tradition typically features a candlelit procession accompanied by a beautiful choir 👩‍👩‍👧‍👦👨‍👨‍👧‍👦

But in Copenhagen, you can experience a rather unusual parade…

A magical Santa Lucia kayak parade hosted by Kayak Republic and Kayak Bar. Back in 2006, it started small, with a few torches and some kayaks. But guess what? Now, it’s enormous!

In 2024, hundreds of kayaks decorated with Christmas lights will pass through Nyhavn, Christianshavn, BLOX and Højbro Plads singing Christmas carols! 🚣🎄

If you want to participate, here is the schedule:

🛶 15.00: Gløgg and æbleskiver at Kayak Bar

🛶 17.00: Departure from Kayak Bar

🛶 17.15: Nyhavn

🛶 17.45: Christianshavn

🛶 18.15: BLOX

🛶 18.30: Højbro Plads & Gl. Strand

🛶 18.45: Last stop of the evening at Kayak Bar & Kayak Republic

🎄Tips:
• Arrive 30 minutes early for a good view!
• The Christianshavn location is typically less crowded than Nyhavn.

Your new favourite dessert 🍒🍚😋

You can't have Christmas in Copenhagen without tasting the traditional Risalamande, a Danish Christmas dessert consisting of a sweetened rice pudding with almonds, that you pour cherry sauce over, which dates back to the late 19th century. ⁠

Everyone knows that one's mother makes the best Risalamande, but luckily you can also find some delicious alternatives in the city. Here are a few ways to experience Risalamande during your visit:

🍒 Classic lunch restaurants like Restaurant Schønnemann always have a no-nonsense Risalamande that taste like heaven 👼⁠

🍒 GRØD has both Risalamande and classic rice pudding on the menu and it's vegan-friendly 🌱

🍒 How would a Risalamande ice cream taste like? Ismageriet has the answer with Isalamande 🍦

🍒 If you want to enjoy your Risalamande on the fly, make sure to stop by Andersen & Maillard and taste their signature Risalamande 🥨

🍒 The signature taste of Risalamande actually translates quite well to beer. This year Væskebalancen Bar & Bottleshop - Blågårdsgade has a liquid risalamande-beer for you to try 🍺

Where would you go to grab a risalamande in Copenhagen? 🍒🤤

A Christmas Herald in Copenhagen 📯🎄⁠

One of, if not the most iconic, hotels in Copenhagen, Hotel d'Angleterre marks the beginning of Christmas for the locals when it unveils it's Christmas lights on November 20th.

It's a tradition that dates back to 1995 when the owners of Hotel d'Angleterre decided to decorate the facade facing Kongens Nytorv for the first time during Christmas 💝

Since then it has been the first sign of Christmas coming to town when the lights are turned on and the holiday cheer starts to spread 🎀🔔💡✨

When you use your bicycle as much as we do in Copenhagen, you end up with some funny nicknames. In celebration of World Sustainable Transport Day, we wanted to highlight the quintessential way of exploring Copenhagen and it's 546 km of bicycle paths 💚

Everyday 37% of all Copenhageners jump on their two-wheeler on the way to school or work no matter the weather and the residents of Copenhagen own more than 745.000 bicycles, which is 5 times more than cars in the city! 😮
