In Denmark we normally don't leave cookies out for father Christmas, but leave out risengrød (rice porridge) with cinnamon sugar and butter on top, for the nisse (the old Norse elf)
Well yea, but they are advertised a lot more during christmas and are often put in the christmas candy section at the grocery store. So i guess a lot of people would associate them with christmas.
I was so excited to see you trying danish sweets! I am a dane too and I have been wanting to send you something from Denmark too, but I just never got to it. So I just wanted to say that Cille did such a great job selecting these things for you as they are really common during Christmas in Denmark. So Cille, if you read this: Great job! 👍🏻😘 Kate, you said, that the crisps would be great with a dip and a lot of people actually use the gravy made out of the juices from the roasted duck or pork to dip the crisps in. Some also saves the gravy for later in the fridge and then microwave it when they want crisps with dip during the holidays. We often drink the beer with a meal called risengrød (a kind of porridge (made with rice instead of oats, but still warm) sprinkled with cinnamon, sugar and a teaspoon of butter)). Even kids get it too. That is also what we put out for Father Christmas (which we, by the way, call Julemanden - it translates to The Christmas Man). Alex, you were totally spot on with the song about Toms Karameller! 👍🏻😍😂 Merry Christmas, Kate and Alex! 🎅🏻🎁🎄 Keep up your amazing job making these videos for us! ❤️❤️❤️ I love your channel! 😍
Hey! I am so pleased to hear you were super excited for this one and that you agree with the selection of goodies Cille sent us! Ahh i wondered if they did that with the juices and the crisps. Mmm yum! That dish sounds delicious! Merry Christmas to you too. Thank you for watching ❤️❤️
Nogle gange er det også bare umugligt at finde meny chips fordi de bliver efterspurgt så meget at de også bliver udsolgt fra lagret inden de kommer på hylderne.
We're able to get the vanilla danish butter cookies here at Christmas time. They're my youngest sons favorite cookies and he always gets a big tin of them on his birthday. Thank you as always for brightening my day
Im from Denmark 🇩🇰 and everyone i know have chips to dip in the gravy 🤤🤤 and i personally LOOOOVE the carmelist potatoes the most, with the roasted pork or duck 😍 Happy holidays from Fyn - Denmark 🎄🇩🇰
The typical Danish Christmas dinner contains Duck, Roasted Pork Belly, Brown gravy made from the Duck or the Roasted Pork Belly, Red Cabbage, White Cabbage, Crisp's, Regular Potatoes, and Caramelised Potatoes. (fun fact, Danish people love to dip the crisp into the gravy.)
In Sweden the main part of the Christmas dinner is the ham. We also have meatballs, tiny sausages, a special potato gratin, picked herring, smoked lox and a lot more! Also, we leave porridge for Father Christmas/Santa instead of cookies.
Claralundqvist - I just read your comment after I made mine. Am I right about the potato dish name ? The 1 that has the anchovies and so yummy ? I also absolutely loved the cabbage..it was a wonderful Christmas 🎄 experience when we all were in Sweden 🇸🇪 that year. Also it seemed everyone for the most part ate Christmas Eve. 🎄😊
Lynda Bond Hi! I just found your comment. You are right, it’s called “Janssons frestelse”! Where are you from and how come you celebrated Christmas here in Sweden? 😊 Yeah, we all celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve. 🎄
The Curré cookies remind me of Royal Dansk. It's a brand of Danish cookies that we have in the US which is a very popular holiday gift (a lot of companies send Royal Dansk tins out as gifts for their clients/customers). My mom still has a Royal Dansk tin where she keeps her sewing supplies.
Nice with Danish treats!❤️ And yeah, you definitely slaughtered the language😅 I'm Swedish and we also have Brända mandlar (burned almonds), you should really try some fresh out the pan, they're even more delicious 😋! A tip for opening the bags with candies; they often have a cut in the upper left corner that you rip open vertically down the left side of the bag😊
We have those Danish cookies (biscuits) here and I thought they were just "fake" as they are so cheap. Yep, says product of Denmark. People seem to have them out a lot at Christmas. I like the tin. It has a nice Christmas scene on it.
I am also from Denmark 🇩🇰 Super box, Cille 👍 And Alex, you did a good job pronuncing the Danish words 😊 Øl ( beer) was spot on 😉 And Kate, the hat with a bit of Leo 😍 Merry Christmas 🌟
You both get me through my days and make them better 💖 ive been in hospital for 1 month i had majour brain surgery and as soon as i was out i have been catching up on your uploads! Love to you both and wishing you an amazing Christmas and new year!
Hey Keely, so sorry to hear you have been in the hospital for a month. I really hope your surgery went well and we wish you a speedy recovery. Merry Christmas to you and your family
Hey! It went well I was meant to come out after christmas but im getting on with it and recovering really well so I was allowed home on a drip which means i can have Christmas with the family! So greatful to be home for Christmas! I had a 5% chance of living and the docs and surgeons cant believe i survived because i had so little chance so they are so proud of me and how far i've come in so litttle time! They had to shave my hair all the way round but luckily they did it in a place where a headband can cover it! Hope you both and your family have an amazing Christmas too! 💖
Alex's face when Kate said beer...non alcoholic beer...lol..I was rolling..love y'all!!!♡♡♡ P.s that new hat matches that sweater really good Kate and it looks good on you. Alex's hat is awesome...I love it!
"Guantanamera" is a Cuban folk song. The title means, "Woman from Guantánamo," which is the name of a province and city in Cuba (not just the location of the now-infamous American military base where accused terrorists are held). Pete Seeger wrote an English translation of the lyrics. My favorite version of the song is from the 1995 movie of the same name. Kate, I think the flavor you don't like in beer comes from hops, which are bitter. I've noticed that you don't like foods with even a little bitterness, such as dark chocolate. You might tolerate a less-hoppy beer like Newcastle Nut Brown Ale, which has more of a toasty, malty taste.
Oh wow, thank you for the information Jeff. Can always count on you to know something interesting! Woah, i think you are spot on there!! I'll have to try a less hoppy beer!
3:11 The in Christmastime here in Denmark 🇩🇰, they are not only pork 🐖🐷 and ducks 🦆, but also goose too sometimes because goose’s is actually very expensive here in Denmark 🇩🇰 🙂😎✌️
Oh that look when the beer was non-alcoholic! I do like my beer larger btw! (Check drop box) I just loved the Danish box - soooo Christmassy. And the Guantanamera reference blew me away. Merry Christmas guys.
I don't know why so many of my fellow Danes thinks that our Christmas beer is alcohol free. KB hvidtøl is at 1.7% and most of our other hvidtøl is just under 2%.
Being so hot in Australia, if my family do lunch or dinner for Christmas it's normally cold stuff like ham off the bone and other cold meats, salads and cold desserts like trifle and pavlova etc. Though my husband's family is from Slovakia, so every year on Christmas Eve they do chicken schnitzels, potato salad and a sort of sausage and sauerkraut soup which I personally don't have but love the schnitzels!
I will have to one day experience a hot Christmas! Those desserts are some of my faves so i'm sure I would fit in well there 😀 Oh wow, how cool. I love hearing other family traditions
I really just want to wish you both a very Merry Christmas and thank you both for such positive and fun videos this year. You are lovely young people! Love 💘
Thank you so much Carrie. We are so pleased you have been enjoying our videos this year thank you for your kind words they really mean a lot. We wish you a very Merry Christmas too
Amazing video. The look on Alex's face when you said the beer was non alcoholic was so funny. Also when Alex give you the biscuit from his lip was funny too. Merry Christmas Alex and Kate and also to your family and your loved ones too ❄🎅❄🎄❄
Nope.... Not pearls. "Mee'dis'tar" and then there is the letter "ø" that have a sound, that you will never find in English. However it sounds nothing like pearl's. Unless you speak English with a thick Danish accent.
@@panny687 Yup.... Like the name of a candy you can buy in Denmark. The name is "Spunk". It is something... Well.... Specific, on the English language. 😁
That is a great selection of Danish treats !! So sweet of Cilli to send it for your Christmas present ! In California there is a wonderful Danish Village called Solvang . We LOVE to shop and eat there !! They have a ton of bakeries. And the pastries are delicious. I am part Danish , so I loved getting a bit educated about Danish heritage foods . I LOVE the animal print Santa 🎅🏼 hat SO much ! Merry Christmas to all !! 🎄 ⭐️ 🥧
We definitely loved trying this selection :D So lovely of her. Oh wow, thats awesome. Mmm i bet they are so delicious. So pleased you enjoyed watching this one! Must have been more interesting as you are part Danish :D Merry Christmas to you too!
I am so happy I came across your channel! I am a Dane, and the biggest anglophile! You have no idea! I also love all the candy in the video ☺️very interesting to see your views on the candy ☺️
Ofc some here eat Turkey too at christmas.. in my Family the Christmas table always holds a stuffed Turkey, a sizable pork roast and the traditional Danish Christmas sausage, besides what we call the 3 types of potatos, the white boiled potato, the caramel potatos made on a frying pan with loads of sugar and the chips/crisps. The chips/crisps are a MUST HAVE to get all the gravy off the plate, so i would guess that maybe 80% of ethnic danes have some form of chips/crisps at Christmas and if you go all in, you give them 5 mins in a heated oven before serving. Regarding the marcipan/marzipan, Danish Marcipan/marzipan is primarily made from Almonds, while foreign marcipan/marzipan (here at least) often is made by primarily Apricot seeds (its cheaper), in denmark real marcipan has a min. amount of almonds it has to contain to be able to use the name marcipan/marzipan.
now I have to tell you something that paris MENY Chips you could get on grisly heat before in time it was small balls that came in frying oil and they popped up like they Menu and they were really good
When you are Danish watching this like- OMG a Big country noticed us😂 and er have the BEST Christmas snacks🤩👌 the Way you say Cille is Cil-Lah like almost 👌
I grew up in Michigan, spent my teen years in Arizona, and now live with my husband in Kansas. Traditionally, my family always buys or receives as a gift, a tin of Danish Christmas Cookies, and they look like most of the assortment you got in that plastic tub. Also, just wondering, is it legal to send alcohol in the mail? I always thought it wasn't, but I don't know for sure.
totally agree with your Danish friend - you brighten up peoples lives! One thing has changed with Christmas turkey - what happened to brown meat? It's all gone pale! Hope you got treats for Bob & Penny! What are you using to translate food labels? I've been to Copenhagen - great place. Guantanemera is genuinely a massive hit Kate! Mark from Bournemouth
You are too kind, thank you Mark! Bob & Penny get lots of treats and presents at Christmas. I think they are looking forward to it too! Often things are also written in English or we can use google translate :D
Crisps with the actual Christmas Dinner? Definitely a real thing. Usually the duck sauce/gravy is used as dip. Also, wondering why Danes have duck instead of Turkey or Goose for Christmas? It's a matter of oven-size and tradition. Before ovens were common in households, the wealthy upper class would go to a butcher or baker to have their turkey or goose roasted for Christmas as they had ovens big enough for the rather large bird. These were expensive birds at the time, and having them cooked by professionals added to the cost. Lower or middle classes would traditionally have salted cod. As ovens became more common, but were of a much smaller size than what a baker or butcher had, many middle and lower class people began to introduce duck. They wanted to emulate the more upper class Christmas dinner, but were not wealthy enough to go for the goose/turkey roasted by a baker or butcher-solution. Duck is cheaper, tastes similar to goose, and because a duck would fit into the ovens of the time much more easily, it became the bird of choice. Goose/turkey was still a privilege for the wealthy upper class who could afford to send their bird to the baker or butcher for cooking. The middle class grew quickly at some point, and the upper class almost disappeared (officially, at least), so at some point the tables just turned. Duck is now tradition. This is also why some Danes have roasted pork. It is cheaper than duck.
Regarding the French potatoes, yes, the bag is bigger, but if you darken the bag, then there is a lot of air in it, which will also be in the maxi bag and not so much more than the other bag. so yes you don't get much for the money. Greetings Denmark
Im from Denmark and In Denmark almost everyone eats crisps at Christmas and we dip them in sauce, and the hat is not a father Christmas hat, it's what we call a (nissehue), a (nisse) is like a house alf that we associate with Christmas, I'm pretty sure its native to Scandinavia in general, it's said to help out the farmers and it lives in the attic, and it hides from people, some people gives it rice pudding at Christmas by putting it in the attic, to make it happy and so it keeps helping on the farm
People have spiral sliced ham, prime rib or crown of pork often for dinner unless they are Italian and then they do the feast of 7 fishes. Christmas dinner is more varied and usually by choice or tradition.
@@ThisWithThem the US is so huge we have a lot of traditional Christmas foods, ham is standard but I'm Cuban so we cook an entire pig for Christmas. It's varied but it seems to be some kind of pork product here lol.
It’s in every Danes Christmas... me cousin is from Essex and I’m trying to get her over for a proper Danish Christmas... the beer is also used to make øllebrød which is rye bread and beer and brown sugar...
Where do you live ? That sounds super fancy ! Do you put the fancy little trim on the top of your crown roast ? I have only had it once, a friend made one for a dinner party . Merry Christmas blessings from California .🎸 🎄 🥁 🎅🏼
Yay finally some Danish stuff! I've offered sending you some before, but due to our taxes here, candy is very expensive. In the UK you get five chocolate bars for the price of one in Denmark
I am part English and part Danish. My mother always insisted on having turkey at xmas, so it is possible to buy turkey at xmas in Denmark, but I have always prefered duck as turkey meat is too dry and bland. And yes Menu Chips are delicious, I use to eat loads of them when I was still living in Denmark, cannot however find any here in Sweden 😢
Good video and I really like the Santa hat with the animal print. It reminds me of Christmas in Africa. Have a good week and I can't believe Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. Yikes! I haven't bought 1 gift yet. Hope everyone else is better prepared than me.
Thank you Brandon! The hat was awesome, wasn't it! I know!! Where on earth has that time gone? I'm not doing too well with the presents so far either. Hopefully, we can both get them sorted soon. xD
Our go to Christmas dinner is a ham with all the traditional sides we have at Thanksgiving... or a Lasagna. Which personally I think it’s kind of weird. I’m a traditional ham and delicious sides kind of girl!
In denmark we eat risengrød for christmas and leave it for The nisse (elf) I drink juleøl either it is summer or haloween but danes Will always like Carlsberg and tuborg
If those almonds are the same as some of them that we have here in the USA, they're sooooooo good!! The companies I have bought them from also have cashews, pecans, etc. 😋😋
In Denmark we normally don't leave cookies out for father Christmas, but leave out risengrød (rice porridge) with cinnamon sugar and butter on top, for the nisse (the old Norse elf)
Yeah in sweden we do that as well :)
@C J Says who?
Nisser also known as the creepy trolls that life in our attics
@C J "Nisser" is the spawn of satan. So nothing weird to see here just move along
C J It looks like your saltyness wasn’t washed either

The “guldkarameller” and the “p-tærter” are actually not christmas candy, but just normal candy😂
Well yea, but they are advertised a lot more during christmas and are often put in the christmas candy section at the grocery store. So i guess a lot of people would associate them with christmas.
Du har helt ret
@@rasmuskjaerpoulsen No they are not.
@@homerboy91 they totally are though. atleast guld karameller are
Their kinda some ppl eat Them on Christmas and some ppl dont

K
It’s so funny to hear them talk danish
Yeah really
But i have see a really funny vidio were japanish guys are taisting danish candy
im from Greenland and, YEAH!!! i dont like the way how they talk in Danish. They're miss pronouns them too much
Jeg føler lidt at 80 procent af dem der ser videoen er danske
Adam Kirchner-Jacobsen så meget aha
Ja
Tror faktisk mere det er 98%😂
ja
Ja
i think that guy would love a danish christmas dinner :D
Yeah he would!!
Yup that is so true
Listening to you singing toms karameller was the highlight. Perfect rendition too.
Alex's face when Kate said nonalcoholic beer was priceless! I cracked up. 😂
hahaha
Right ?! If there was a thought bubble, it would read, "Come again."
But it's actually not non-alcoholic.. Kinda.. It's 1.7%, so turn that frown upside down!
As far as I know it's very common to have the type of crisps from Kims at the Christmas dinner, and they are sooo good to dip in the gravy
Nogle gange er det også bare umugligt at finde meny chips fordi de bliver efterspurgt så meget at de også bliver udsolgt fra lagret inden de kommer på hylderne.
Most families I know in Denmark have crisps at Chrismas. Mostly dipped in the gravy/sauce.
We're able to get the vanilla danish butter cookies here at Christmas time. They're my youngest sons favorite cookies and he always gets a big tin of them on his birthday. Thank you as always for brightening my day
Ahh lucky! They are so delicious 😋💗
I died laughing when you started singing Tom's Karameller, an old school ad from the 90's

This is why I love being both British and danish
And it is all over Denmark with the chips and Christmas meals she mentions- its kinda like a danish tradition

I am so happy I came across your channel! I am a Dane, and the biggest anglophile! You have no idea! I also love all the candy in the video ☺️very interesting to see your views on the candy ☺️
You nailed the Toms Karameller song! Very impressive!
Ofc some here eat Turkey too at christmas.. in my Family the Christmas table always holds a stuffed Turkey, a sizable pork roast and the traditional Danish Christmas sausage, besides what we call the 3 types of potatos, the white boiled potato, the caramel potatos made on a frying pan with loads of sugar and the chips/crisps. The chips/crisps are a MUST HAVE to get all the gravy off the plate, so i would guess that maybe 80% of ethnic danes have some form of chips/crisps at Christmas and if you go all in, you give them 5 mins in a heated oven before serving. Regarding the marcipan/marzipan, Danish Marcipan/marzipan is primarily made from Almonds, while foreign marcipan/marzipan (here at least) often is made by primarily Apricot seeds (its cheaper), in denmark real marcipan has a min. amount of almonds it has to contain to be able to use the name marcipan/marzipan.
That packed that you have got is something all in Denmark eats up to christmas (contryside or cities)
now I have to tell you something that paris MENY Chips you could get on grisly heat before in time it was small balls that came in frying oil and they popped up like they Menu and they were really good
the burnt almonds is specially good if you eat them when they are warm direct from the frying pan. :)
When you are Danish watching this like- OMG a Big country noticed us😂 and er have the BEST Christmas snacks🤩👌 the Way you say Cille is Cil-Lah like almost 👌
I grew up in Michigan, spent my teen years in Arizona, and now live with my husband in Kansas. Traditionally, my family always buys or receives as a gift, a tin of Danish Christmas Cookies, and they look like most of the assortment you got in that plastic tub. Also, just wondering, is it legal to send alcohol in the mail? I always thought it wasn't, but I don't know for sure.
If the cookies are like the sewing supply tin ones, they're nothing like the ones seen here save for the vaniliekrans.
totally agree with your Danish friend - you brighten up peoples lives! One thing has changed with Christmas turkey -
what happened to brown meat? It's all gone pale! Hope you got treats for Bob & Penny! What are you using to
translate food labels? I've been to Copenhagen - great place. Guantanemera is genuinely a massive hit Kate!
Mark from Bournemouth
You are too kind, thank you Mark! Bob & Penny get lots of treats and presents at Christmas. I think they are looking forward to it too! Often things are also written in English or we can use google translate :D
You two are my new fav youtube "couple" (i know you're siblings). Love ur videos! Keep up the good work!! Your videos Always put a smile on my face 🥰
I think It’s really funny 😂 to listen to you to because I’m from Denmark 🇩🇰
Crisps with the actual Christmas Dinner? Definitely a real thing. Usually the duck sauce/gravy is used as dip.
Also, wondering why Danes have duck instead of Turkey or Goose for Christmas?
It's a matter of oven-size and tradition. Before ovens were common in households, the wealthy upper class would go to a butcher or baker to have their turkey or goose roasted for Christmas as they had ovens big enough for the rather large bird. These were expensive birds at the time, and having them cooked by professionals added to the cost. Lower or middle classes would traditionally have salted cod.
As ovens became more common, but were of a much smaller size than what a baker or butcher had, many middle and lower class people began to introduce duck. They wanted to emulate the more upper class Christmas dinner, but were not wealthy enough to go for the goose/turkey roasted by a baker or butcher-solution. Duck is cheaper, tastes similar to goose, and because a duck would fit into the ovens of the time much more easily, it became the bird of choice. Goose/turkey was still a privilege for the wealthy upper class who could afford to send their bird to the baker or butcher for cooking.
The middle class grew quickly at some point, and the upper class almost disappeared (officially, at least), so at some point the tables just turned. Duck is now tradition.
This is also why some Danes have roasted pork. It is cheaper than duck.
Tak for info😃
Regarding the French potatoes, yes, the bag is bigger, but if you darken the bag, then there is a lot of air in it, which will also be in the maxi bag and not so much more than the other bag.
so yes you don't get much for the money.
Greetings Denmark
Just recently discovered your channel. LOVE it. I've been binge watching all the videos. ♥️
Im from Denmark and In Denmark almost everyone eats crisps at Christmas and we dip them in sauce, and the hat is not a father Christmas hat, it's what we call a (nissehue), a (nisse) is like a house alf that we associate with Christmas, I'm pretty sure its native to Scandinavia in general, it's said to help out the farmers and it lives in the attic, and it hides from people, some people gives it rice pudding at Christmas by putting it in the attic, to make it happy and so it keeps helping on the farm
In the States we just had a turkey dinner for Thanksgiving so a lot of people make a ham for Christmas.
Ahh thats interesting! Probably fed up of Turkey by then!
People have spiral sliced ham, prime rib or crown of pork often for dinner unless they are Italian and then they do the feast of 7 fishes. Christmas dinner is more varied and usually by choice or tradition.
@@ThisWithThem the US is so huge we have a lot of traditional Christmas foods, ham is standard but I'm Cuban so we cook an entire pig for Christmas. It's varied but it seems to be some kind of pork product here lol.
I love your Christmas boxes
Yay thanks Gray :D
Those Marshmellow ive tried freezing them. TRY IT ITS SOOO GOOOD. They are like frozen and then while thewing them its soo fluufy
Danish Sweets are interesting, everything is about cinnamon, and ginger at this time of the Year 😘😘
It’s in every Danes Christmas... me cousin is from Essex and I’m trying to get her over for a proper Danish Christmas... the beer is also used to make øllebrød which is rye bread and beer and brown sugar...
Our traditional Christmas dinner is a Crown Roast of Pork...this year we a changing it up and serving poached Salmon with lemon fill and white wine.
Oh wow, I hope it goes down well for you all :D
Where do you live ? That sounds super fancy ! Do you put the fancy little trim on the top of your crown roast ? I have only had it once, a friend made one for a dinner party . Merry Christmas blessings from California .🎸 🎄 🥁 🎅🏼
@@marycook1644 no fancy trim...but we do stuff it with a classic thyme and onion bread stuffing.
Erin O'Neill Sounds delightful ! 👩🏻🍳
There is 1,7 percent alcohol in that beer 😅 I can’t remember when a beer is non alcoholic 😅
They are a new beer from Tuborg on 0,0 % alcohol, by the way dude buddy pal bro my friend 🇩🇰 🙂😎✌️
@@jonathanthomsen6440
Actually KB Nisseøl is on 1,7%😉
now have the recipes for some of the Christmas cookies so just getting started can make your kitchen vidio when you make them
Thank you for those Benny :D
Yay finally some Danish stuff! I've offered sending you some before, but due to our taxes here, candy is very expensive. In the UK you get five chocolate bars for the price of one in Denmark
yaaay! Oh wow, that is so expensive. Thank you for the offer though! Very kind of you
I am glad you liked the candy from my home
The Meny chips are identical to the Munchos here in America!
I am part English and part Danish. My mother always insisted on having turkey at xmas, so it is possible to buy turkey at xmas in Denmark, but I have always prefered duck as turkey meat is too dry and bland. And yes Menu Chips are delicious, I use to eat loads of them when I was still living in Denmark, cannot however find any here in Sweden 😢
Good video and I really like the Santa hat with the animal print. It reminds me of Christmas in Africa. Have a good week and I can't believe Christmas is less than 2 weeks away. Yikes! I haven't bought 1 gift yet. Hope everyone else is better prepared than me.
Thank you Brandon! The hat was awesome, wasn't it! I know!! Where on earth has that time gone? I'm not doing too well with the presents so far either. Hopefully, we can both get them sorted soon. xD
Our go to Christmas dinner is a ham with all the traditional sides we have at Thanksgiving... or a Lasagna. Which personally I think it’s kind of weird. I’m a traditional ham and delicious sides kind of girl!
In denmark we eat risengrød for christmas and leave it for The nisse (elf)
I drink juleøl either it is summer or haloween but danes Will always like Carlsberg and tuborg
We always have turkey, ham and rabbit(I don't eat the rabbit) for Christmas. It is a very old family tradition.
I hope you have a lovely Christmas
Loved watching this, looks delicious!
Danish Christmas Sweets ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
always look forward too these video's
Yaay thank you Jerrica :)
in norway, many pplz also have crisps on the christmas table, but before the main dinner as an apertif :D
yes crisps are used for christmas dinner all over Denmark.
I wonder if they mean like sugar glazed sweet potato. Those chips that Kate said were puffed are like munchos here in the US
Oh yes! Maybe. Yes!! Very much like Munchos!
If those almonds are the same as some of them that we have here in the USA, they're sooooooo good!! The companies I have bought them from also have cashews, pecans, etc. 😋😋
Happy holidays, Kate and Alex.
Happy holidays to you too 🎄
