Summary
With Christmas just around the corner, we’re revisiting one of our favorite holiday episodes from last year. In this festive roundtable, Derek, Conrad, Brooke, Annie, and guest Steven Feraru, talk about the big and small culture shocks that come with celebrating Christmas in Denmark as an international. From julekalenders and gløgg to julefrokost chaos, gift-opening traditions, and why Christmas seems to start very early here, we share personal stories, laughs, and a few moments of genuine confusion about how things are done Danish-style. Steven also brings his unique perspective growing up in a multicultural family and since recording this episode, he’s gone on to win the Danish reality show Double Up , making this the perfect time to bring it back. Whether you’re traveling for the holidays, waiting at an airport, or enjoying a quieter week at home, we hope this episode keeps you company and gets you into the holiday spirit. We’ll be back next week with a brand-new episode answering a listener’s question, and calming a few fears, about what to expect for your very first New Year’s Eve in Denmark. Glædelig jul and happy listening!
