Marzipan pigs are traditional to see in Scandinavia countries during the Christmas season. It's also in German and Dutch traditions. Marzipan is made out of almond so its unfortunately not for those with nut allergies.
In Sweden, a game they have is with eating rice porridge or risgröt with a hidden almond in the pot. If you end up with the almond, you are awarded a marzipan pig or "marsipangris" in Swedish.
The marzipan pigs come in different sizes. This one is a large sized Mama pig with babies, as my little ones pointed out. Check out the price tag...995kr!
There are mini marzipan pigs as well, like these found at Magnus Johansson Bakery. So cute!
