Inside Simply Scandi Christmas 2025

Join us as we look ahead to the festive season in our new Simply Scandi Christmas Special 2025…

"Can you believe that this is Christmas Special numner 5 (six if you count our launch digital issue), and I'm still loving discovering Scandi traditions and special home-decorating moments," says Jen, who shares her issue highlights below…

The joy of a Scandi Christmas

Fill your Scandi home with love and hygge set against a traditional red-and-white decorated home. From the cutest of festive tableware and charming Christmas characters, to stockings left in anticipation and make-you-smile reindeer, there's plenty to get you in the mood for a fun-packed Scandi Jul.

5 Christmas homes, each with its own take on the season

There's inspiration for the season a-plenty at Ida's farm in Gothenburg, or Head to Mari's Norwegian villa, where deep blue and brown shades provide a dramatic backdrop for a stylish Christmas. Alexandra's calm, elegant Danish apartment lets her simple take on Christmas shine, while Erika's Swedish farmhouse mixes old with new for a rustic, welcoming Christmas home, a look that's shared by Sofia in her Swedish greenhouse, that's made for festive gatherings.

Brontë's December

Having spent the last decades writing and working with food from Scandinavia while living in London, Brontë Aurell's latest book takes us on a very special journey through her family's favourite recipes. In our Simply Scandi Christmas 2025, she shares Christmas traditions and temptations.
