Skansen is much more than a christmas market! Skansen is the world’s oldest open-air museum, showcasing the whole of Sweden with houses, animals and traditions from every part of the country. That is why you need to pay to go in there..
04:48 The 365 SEK was for a yearly pass to Skansen, where the Christmas market is held. Skansen is an open air museum and a zoo, not just a market. A day pass is 220 SEK. You should do a reaction video about Skansen alone.
Skansen is a theme park, and the theme is Sweden. They have houses from throughout history, having been dis/assembled plank by plank. With actors. And all the main Swedish fauna, elk, reindeer, wolverine, lynx…
There aren't that many bears shot each year in Sweden making it kind of rare to find bear meat in a store. Even moose can be rare and they are hunted in massive numbers.
Almost all christmas markets in Sweden are free. This (Skansen) is a special case as its an outdoor museum with actors in all the old houses, animals etc. And the number you picked up (365 kr) is what you pay for an entrance-pass for a full year. You should definitely visit this place to learn more about Swedish history😊
We eat bear down in the south to if the butcher got it. You do know that we have wild brown bears in the Swedish woods (and they love English tourist 😂). I had a big piece of bear meat with me as a gift on a Scottish wedding and the Scott’s loved it!
If you visit Skansen it's not just for the christmas market. You can visit Skansen all year, it's such a nice place. Go to the christmas market by all means, but don't forget to explore the rest of Skansen with their animals, houses, shops etc. It's just so much much more than a christmas market. Totally worth a visit!
Skansen area, that is at Djurgården= former kings hunting area is rather now a days like British "National trust area"! One pay to suport them! But as a tourist, there is a lot of christmas markets on city streets! Its still this that sweden is much beutifuller at spring and summer.. its altso much warmer! Soo Midsummer at Skansen for tourists.. one can watch or enjoy "litle frog dance around the maypole"! Its this.. if you and your spouce is adults, no children, one can choise a hotell/B&B, spend the rest on resturantes/clubs! With children.. always breakfast, kinda close to "gamla stan", and a subway station, Skansen and Gröna Lund! And it still this that it take at least three days only to visit Stockholm slott!
You're absolutely right. We open up our presents on Christmas Eve, although we have Christmas dinner both on Eve and Day. Usually within the closest family on Eve, and with friends on Day. At least in my family.
There are lots of Christmas markets all over the country - several villages have their own markets. We went to one in a village close by a couple of weeks ago. Our own village had one last weekend, and the neighbouring village will have one in two weeks. You'll be able to get lots of local produce. Including bear sausages. We have bears around where we live.
i agree bear meet is one of the most flavoursome meats i have eaten and i have eaten whale,bear,moose,raindeer,sqirel,horse,deer,rabbit(wild and non wild ) and wild hog.
11:45 24 of December and 15:00 we have Kalles julafton on the tv . Sweden is closing down at 14:00 if not 100% of them so at least 90% of all the stores is closing at 14:00 . Except big grocery stores , seven elevens , fast food chains like McDonald's and petrol stations .
You should visit Northern Sweden in the Winter (13-24 Dec and you can hit two birds with one stone, and maybe snag double christmas 25th in the UK), and Southern Sweden in the summer Midsummer in June &/or august crayfishparty).
We eat bear, yes. They are part of the Swedish fauna, and almost anything found in our forests is eaten. From moose to beard lichens. :D One of the best Christmas food I've ever had was when I had to work 12h shifts over Christmas and hadn't prepared any food to bring to work. I did a quick raid to the shops on my way there and found some coldcuts of bear roast. It was expensive, but I treated myself with a lot of yummy stuff. I can't remember anything else I had, but that meat was amazing. It was really tender even though the rough texture reminded of moose and it had a nice gamy flavour.
You really should go for midsummer on the country side. Or in the archipelago. Great food. Tradition. Sun is up 23h and you really enjoy everything. That's the big day when everyone is just so happy. It's an anything goes kind of day. 👍
The first christmas market opened this weekend, but most of them opens on Saturday. In Stockholm we have reniwned Christmas markets at Skansen, Old Town (Stortorget), Kungsträdgprden and Sigtuna.
Bear is not the most common food of course. But I have eaten bear, deer, reindeer, moose. All locally sourced when I visited the northwest mountain regions. Deer can be sourced here in the south as well.
Skansen is much more of a summer activity imo since it’s mainly a outdoor cultural theme park/zoo. I would recommend other markets if your low on bank but it’s nice all year around but a bit on the expensive side. The cold can be harsh but as the swedes say ”Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder”.
I'm not sure what tv channel it is on, but I believe that Swedish TV shows an "advent calendar" - a 5 min program shown every day in the run-up to Christmas.
I laughed a bit at "where do you get the bears from?". Well sir, from the forest just like the moose. Skansen has a lot of variety in their Christmas market since it's an open air museum showing off different swedish traditions. That means you get Christmas stuff and food from different swedish regions. Moose isn't really a Christmas thing in southern Sweden, nor is bear.
I am not too fond of moose. Reindeer is great. And Skansen is an open-air museum, that is why there is an entrance fee. There are plenty of Christmas markets in the larger Scandinavian cities where admission is entirely free.
Sweden have so many, many Christmas traditions. Yes, most of northern and central Europe have the big celebration on the 24th. We in Sweden usually party on the "eve" of everything and not on the day itself. Our lutheran traditions mandates the "days" for church, prayers and holy meditation, so we party on tge "eve".
you just need to visit sweden during the right time to get the right experience, for example, now in november, its mostly very dark and cold, but in januari or februari its more bright from the snow and not as cold either bcuz its not as wet from rain being snow ^^ also summer IS beautiful in sweden, many talks about sweden as this winterland, but my experience with other countries is that swedens summers is very green and beautiful, just try to visit when its sun ;)
We still call Christmas "Jul" God jul - Merry christmas. The word Jul comes from old norse and was originally a pre christian pagan tradition celebrating the winter solstice, banquet feasts were held were those present drank beer and made “Julblot” sacrifices to the Old Norse gods.
Aye, we got bear in Sweden and it is delicious, ate it when I did my military service in northern parts as quite a few of the local guys were hunters. They shared dried bear/elk meat while we where out in the field Recommended, I liked bear more than reindeer for sure
😂 You want us to tell you if you've heard that Christmas carol before? How are we to know? 😂😛 But in general we have the same Christmas carols as all other countries plus some of our own and of course they are sung in Swedish and sometimes in English. Just like you in GB, Christmas carols from the rest of the world have been translated into English, such as Silent Night. And depending on where in Sweden you are then warmer clothes become important. But I still wear shorts down here in Scania (Skåne).
Bear is nice. Pretty exclusive and hard to find. I only had it once. It reminded me of something but I could never figure out what it was. Skansen costs money because it's really a zoo.
S:t Lucia has of course no longer much religious meaning. Our church (and in theory we) are Lutheran so do not really believe in saints. But she was sold in as the patron saint of light, bringing light to people in the dark, which is something that really hit home here. So she is the only saint really celebrated by most (pretty much all) Swedes. .
If you're gonna do another reaction on Santa Lucia, I would suggest reacting on one of the many performances that is available here on youtube (As long as they're not a problem with copyright that is). Swedish SVT has a new one every year and there's several of them uploaded here on youtube.
Bear can be had, but it's not as common as in Finland AFAIK, I've never eaten it myself. I've had a lot of Moose, Roe deer, and Hare, since my grandfather was an avid hunter. Gifts and Santa and all that is on the 24th, in my family we had a more formal event on the 25th, with stuffed roast Turkey and stuff, but that differs between families
Christmas to me is the most stressful time of the year... Worse than Easter, and worse than midsummer. All this mass hysteria with buying gifts, crowded with people is incredibly hard for me and it just makes me want to lock myself up till it's over. I like meeting the family and the food though, but I really don't care about the gifts. :) Oh and also... Skansen cost money because it is a theme park, and all stands and stores in there are all individual businesses and not part of the theme park which is more or less the venue. So in short, by going there, you will support local companies and you'll support your local theme park, and every penny you spend will have a percentage for the whole society. Yeah... While not part of the common, bear meat does exist, but typically it is not something that everybody has on their christmas table. I've had it once and the meat is really good. :)
IIRC, the main X-mas celebration in all Germanic speaking nation except the English speaking ones is on the Eve. Well at least, Sweden,Norway,Denmark,Germany and Netherlands do that not sure about the other.
I haven't had Bear meat. I don't think that it's that common. :D But I love Reindeer meat. 'Renskav och mos' is a favourite. Being from Kiruna up North in Sweden, I used to have it a lot. But now I live in Skellefteå - still in the Norrland, but Reindeer is a lot more expensive here. :(
Lucia started with students and the earliest lucias were men. The first 30 years it had nothing to do with the italian Saint, because in Lutheranism we don't celebrate saints like in the catholic church - everyone is a saint in our traditions.
At X-mas Smörgsbord you will get Bear-meat as well as elk and reindeer. But I don't like it. There are bears in the woods, so I suppose they are hunted. I love elk, which I have eaten since I was a kid, my grandfather hunted elk every autumn. Reindeer is okay, but not bear.
Of course we eat bear, we have some and occasionally one or more have to be killed and then of course it is eaten. But there aren't that many, so rather few are killed so it is not common.
Ok, so lucia ... We celebrated this long before we were christians. It is a heathen event. Originally. BUT as with sooo many holidays and special occasions in different cultures, the catholic church allowed us to keep our most important holidays and celebrations -if they could find a saint or something within their religion that they could claim was the reason for the celebration. So eventually they found a girl from Sicily who was a saint. After about 500 years of being Catholics we became protestants. And so for five hundred years now we have celebrated a catholic saint from an Italian island...even though as protestants we don't really celebrate saints at all, traditionally. We also, for the same reason, celebrate another one on the last night of april. Valborg. Who was apparently(had to google) an english princess or daughter of a king at least, who went to germany bla bla ... The only holiday they failed to find a saint to replace was the biggest one of them all; Midsommar. The heathen fertility celebration when we got Frej our fertility god to come and "impregnate" the fertile ground with his luuuuvejuice haha (hence the upside down luuuvejuice-stick in the ground and the dancing and chanting around it to summen the God/-s... (I don't know where the idea of singing about frogs came from though haha). Well...safe to say, they gave up on finding a christian equivalent but we still refused to let that one go so we kept it. Just like we kept julmust for christmas in modern day when coca-cola tried their hardest to make everyone drink their soda instead. But I mean come on... Haha..

Theme park not team park, whatever. Yeah Skansen is in Stockholm, i know zoos in other countries that´s not so puny but then again, i don´t like caged animals. They should be able to live in their natural habitat.
He has said in earlier videos that he has lived/worked in Asia (Thailand if I remember it correctly) for a couple of years but is going home to the UK in 4 months or so.
Not usaly unless youre a Hunter and killed it your self. Never eaten Beare ever in my life.. elk raindear and dear yes but bear is not something you get as a Swede..

Skansen is an outdoor museum and Zoo, therefore the entry fee. Much more to see than just the christmas market.

Skansen is a outdoor team park that is why it,s not free!. You can watch old buildings and animals.
And the price he read was the season card not the price for one visit.
Bear is a very niche food eaten in the northern parts of the country, I would say most Swedish people never tasted it.
There aren't that many bears shot each year in Sweden making it kind of rare to find bear meat in a store.
Even moose can be rare and they are hunted in massive numbers.
Skansen is an outdoor museum, it's not just the Christmas Market.
I have a yearly passcard so I can go to Skansen the year around.
Yes we celebrate on 24 dec!

Plus wild boar is good to .
We eat bear, moose, wild boar, deer and reindeer. They all roam wild in Sweden (although reindeer are domesticated).
However eating bear is a delicate business. If not cooked the right way, or gets spoiled you can get dangerous nerve agent from it.
We eat bear down in the south to if the butcher got it. You do know that we have wild brown bears in the Swedish woods (and they love English tourist 😂).

And yes you should visit both in summer and winter/for christmas😊 Very different vibes..
17:38 Sweden, Norway and the Swedish-speaking areas of Finland is the ones that i know about that do have a traditional Nordic Lucia .
Jokkmokk in Lappland has one too
Every Swedish city, town and village has a Christmas market.
7:09 Were we get them from ?
From Sweden of course we have 2,800 in the last count 2022 .

To visit Sweden both in the winter and in the summer is a good idea. You will get two very different views of Sweden!
We celebrate on the 24:th. Then we celebrate some more on Christmas Day, and 2:nd day Christmas. 😊
16:25 I think that is classical small cookies with jam in the middle (hallongrotta).
Beside that you have butterscotch (knäck)i think it is in English
Bear, yes. But you will pretty much only find it at a good Christmas market. Just as smoked elk heart.
The first christmas market opened this weekend, but most of them opens on Saturday.
In Stockholm we have reniwned Christmas markets at Skansen, Old Town (Stortorget), Kungsträdgprden and Sigtuna.
The Skansen fee of 365sek is for a year pass. the day pass was written to the right of that on the sign !
Bear is not the most common food of course. But I have eaten bear, deer, reindeer, moose. All locally sourced when I visited the northwest mountain regions. Deer can be sourced here in the south as well.
Christmas in the Northern part of Sweden - of course! Kiruna, Jukkasjärvi, Abisko, Riksgränsen. You'd want snow and Northernlights.
We get the bears from/in the woods like any wild game :) Never tried it or even seen it on a table though...
The four large mammalian predators in Sweden are wolf, wolverine, brown bear and lynx. so yes we do hunt brown bears and eat them to.
Skansen is much more of a summer activity imo since it’s mainly a outdoor cultural theme park/zoo.
I would recommend other markets if your low on bank but it’s nice all year around but a bit on the expensive side.
The cold can be harsh but as the swedes say ”Det finns inget dåligt väder, bara dåliga kläder”.
Very welcome to a Christmas 🎄 in Sweden. Looking forward to it 😊
Bears we get from the forest.

Lucia used to come with pork and cheap alkohol. Because the water was too bad to drink.
7:08 I mean we are on the top of the food chain after all .
Way too early, of course, but could be worse. Some places start with Christmas ads in September.
Lucia is of course the feminum version of Lucifer, bringer of light.
we eat bearmeat if we want to its tasty as hell:) but u cant eat too much of it since its very rich u will get an upset tummy:)
Bearmeat taste like a blend between dogmeat and catmeat.
Skansen entryfee is ok they keep animals that needs food and keepers thats gonna be payed..

Could be elk meat i guess but i think its moose. Elk is different, smaller then a moose but larger then a deer.
How long have you been goinc to northern europe by now, at least like 2 years right
Hey i got an idea, why dont you come in january and stay a year that way you get to experience it all ☺
skanse you pay year around no matter id chrismas or not
No, we don't eat bear meat. Very rare
Theme park not team park, whatever. Yeah Skansen is in Stockholm, i know zoos in other countries that´s not so puny but then again, i don´t like caged animals.
They should be able to live in their natural habitat.

People eating bear meat shouldn’t be a suprise to you after reacting to that one finland video.
NOOOO we don`t eat bear
I do.. Delicious.
If a bear is shot, why wouldn´t you eat the meat? (If you´re not vegan, that is : )
Not usaly unless youre a Hunter and killed it your self. Never eaten Beare ever in my life.. elk raindear and dear yes but bear is not something you get as a Swede..
