Embrace the Beauty of a Nordic Christmas at the Scandinavian Christmas Market

Twinkling fairy lights, ornate Christmas baubles, freshly baked gingerbread biscuits – the festive atmosphere of a traditional northern hemisphere Christmas market is set to descend on Auckland, full of all the delectable treats and beautiful traditions of a Nordic Christmas!

The Scandinavian Christmas Market, now into its fifth year, is a collaboration between the Scandinavian community and the NZ Scandinavia Business Association. Each year, stall holders are exclusively selected for their variety, Scandinavian style and quality of products. 

With Danish, Swedish and Finnish stallholders offering an authentic array of gingerbreads, pastries, Christmas cookies and chocolates, alongside vintage collectables, candles, homewares, handcrafted and imported decorations and more, this gorgeous Christmas market offers a festive experience to treasure.

Organiser of the Scandinavian Christmas Market, Kirsten Jensen, says the Scandinavian community host the popular Christmas market in their own unique Nordic style.

“The Scandinavian Christmas Market celebrates the Nordic countries, culture, food, crafts, design and most of all Christmas, which the Scandinavians do in such an authentic and beautiful way,” she says.
“For people who love Christmas, or have experienced the Christmas markets in Europe, they won’t want to miss this one,” she says.

Volvo Cars New Zealand is one of two major sponsors for the 2015 Scandinavian Christmas Market, along with LEGO NZ.

General Manager, Steve Kenchington, says Volvo is a Scandinavian icon, so it is a natural fit for the car company to lend its support to the event.   

“We are proud to have a long association with the Scandinavian Christmas Market which brings to life the very best the region has to offer. We know Kiwis will be excited to come along with their families and embrace the Nordic festive fun,” he says.

The Scandinavian Christmas Market will be held at Danish House, 6 Rockridge Road, Penrose on Sunday, November 1 from 10am-4pm. Free entry and free parking.
