A very ‘Fanny and Alexander’ Swedish Christmas menu

Flaming punch

Start with a flaming bowl of Christmas punch just like the one Oscar Ekdahl serves his theater troop.

Swedish meatballs

There’s nothing more comforting during the chilly holiday season than a big, warm pan of Swedish meatballs.

Swedish potatoes (Jansson’s frestelse)

Creamy potatoes cooked with anchovies are the perfect dish to serve alongside your Swedish meatballs.

Glögg

Time for a toast with warm spiced wine (this one’s made with blackberries too) before you begin dessert.

Swedish rice pudding

Finish your meal with a cozy bowl of Swedish Christmas rice pudding.

Pepparkakor

Flavored with ginger and other spices, these Swedish Christmas cookies are a must.

Swedish baked pancake with plums

The Swedish Christmas festivities continue into the next morning with spiced plum pancakes.

Saint Lucia saffron buns

Sweet buns spiced with saffron are perfect for eating on their own or dunking in cocoa.

Swedish cardamom cinnamon buns

Buttery twirled and twisted dough flavored with cardamom is just what Fanny and Alexander want with tea.

Mini Swedish hazelnut cakes

Pass these mini hazelnut cakes around to guests to snack on while they watch the movie.
