 | | Several of Sweden's finest New York chefs offer their own interpretations of the traditional Christmas dinner and various opportunities to enjoy Swedish delicacies this holiday season. |
 | | The basis of the traditional Christmas dinner spread (julbord) is the classic smörgåsbord, featuring pickled herring, liver paté, sausages, meatballs, rye crisp bread, as well as special holiday items such as veal brawn, rice porridge, and the Christmas ham (julskinka). |
 | | Traditional holiday beverages include julöl, a Christmas beer that is darker and sweeter than the average lager; mumma, a mix of beer, ginger ale, sherry and cardamom; and glögg, a hot red wine flavored with cinnamon, cardamom, cloves and raisins. |
