Christmas in Den Gamle By

About this event

Christmas in Den Gamle By brings Denmark's history to life through authentic holiday celebrations spanning different eras. The historic streets, old merchant houses, and cozy backyards are beautifully decorated with thousands of twinkling lights, pine garlands, and traditional handmade decorations. Visitors can explore historical rooms furnished for Christmas, meet historical characters dressed in period costumes, and smell traditional treats like æbleskiver (Danish pancake puffs) and gløgg (mulled wine). The museum also features bustling old-fashioned Christmas markets with stalls selling crafts, gifts, and holiday sweets, offering a warm and nostalgic atmosphere rooted in Danish "hygge."
