Celebrate Christmas in Stockholm with kids!

Wow, can you believe that 2022 is almost over?

Are you in a Christmas mood 🎅🎄? If not, here are some tips to help get the Christmas spirit in Stockholm.

For now, here are some events that can help you to get yourself in Christmas Mood:

• In the Museum

• At the Christmas Market

• By listening to Christmas Music

• In the Library

• At the Open Preschool or Parklek

• By meeting with Santa Claus (Tomten)
