Beautiful snow-white scenery is shrouded in inky darkness, lit up by starry skies and frosted ice lanterns. It might be a bit chilly, but the Nordic countries have perfected the art of staying cosy in the winter with the warm glow of candles and intimate <em>hygge<\/em> atmospheres. Here, we take a look at how Christmas in Scandinavia is celebrated with a guide on all its festive food traditions and delicious Scandinavian Christmas Dishes.<\/p>\n<p>Scandi Christmas celebrations involve a long evening feasting on a buffet of traditional foods. In Finland they call it <em>Joulup\u00f6yt\u00e4, <\/em>and in Norway,<em> Julaften. <\/em>Instead of Christmas Day, Scandinavians dig into their Yuletide meals on Christmas Eve, gathering round the table with the family to enjoy classic Scandi dishes like gravadlax salmon or herring a thousand ways (you can have it pickled, baked, curried, doused in sour cream and more) on thick slices of rye bread. Each country however, has a favourite festive dish.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sweden<\/strong> \u2013 <strong><em>Jansson&#8217;s frestelse\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-9724\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan.jpg\" alt=\"JScandinavian Christmas dishes anssons frestelse\" width=\"2121\" height=\"1414\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan.jpg 2121w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Janssons-Fretelse-www.istockphoto.com_gb_photo_janssons-frestelse-gm474876207-35045966-bonchan-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2121px) 100vw, 2121px\" \/>A special dish on any Swedish <em>julbord<\/em> is <em>Jansson&#8217;s<\/em> <em>frestelse<\/em>, which means &#8216;Jansson&#8217;s temptation&#8217;.
