Experience ‘hygge’ at Danish Christmas Fair, this year at two venues

BROOKLYN HEIGHTS — The community is invited to experience “hygge” at the 2025 Danish Christmas Fair, known as Julmarked, which has expanded to two venues. The fair, which runs Saturday and Sunday, Nov. 22 and 23, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., will take place at both Danish Seamen’s Church, on Willow St. near Clark St., and Plymouth Church, on Hicks and Orange streets.

The Danish Seamen’s Church will, on both Nov. 22 and 23, host the shopping components, where people can browse Scandinavian designs, cozy knitwear, charming holiday ornaments and Danish candy. Also for sale will be traditional delicacies such as pork roast and a special cherry sauce, perfect for serving Christmas dinner. Plymouth Church will host the in-fair dining on Saturday, Nov. 22 only, featuring Danish treats and seasonal favorites, like homemade hot glögg (a popular Scandinavian version of mulled wine).

Although the popular smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) will not be served this year, there will be other treats. Try their æbleskiver (puffed pancakes), pork roast sandwiches, vegetarian and chicken tartlets, hotdogs with remoulade, roasted shallots and pickled cucumber, shrimp cocktails, and a tempting selection of Danish pastries and risalamande (a beloved rice pudding dessert).
