In Sweden, Gingerbread Day or "Pepparkaksdagen" is celebrated on December 9th! Celebrated since 1996, Gingerbread has existed for a very long time in Sweden.
Gingerbread is a classic treat during the Christmas season. It's flavored with cinnamon, ginger and cloves.
During the 14th century, nuns often baked gingerbread for medicinal purposes. Cinnamon, ginger and cloves were considered to be easy on the stomach.
You can find gingerbread dough or pepparkaksdeg that is soft and easy to bake at different cafes and even some grocery stores. Vegan options are often available too.
You can bake them longer for cookies that are crisp like ginger snaps.
Gingerbread Day can also be a day to start making a Gingerbread house! Kids love this activity. Read more about this activity in my blog post.
You can also find Gingerbread flavored coffees during the winter season! Why not enjoy one on Gingerbread Day?
Whichever way you celebrate Gingerbread day, hope you enjoy!
Don't forget your snacks!
