Warm and sunny weather is often considered one of the perks of living in Southern California, but it can make it difficult to get into the holiday spirit. Drinking mulled wine and decorating the tree while wearing shorts and flip-flops just doesn’t feel right to most Scandinavians.
Luckily there is no reason to fret, another perk of living in LA is that we have easy access to almost everything, including ice and snow. Ski-resorts are only a few hours away in places like Big Bear and Mountain High, Santa’s Village in Skypark is so magical it might very well be where Santa goes when the North Pole gets too cold, and CHILL at the Queen Mary offers an amazing ice adventure for the whole family.
Below are some tips for places in and around LA that offer ice and snow for the holidays and winter season. Don’t forget to dress warmly!

The biggest mistake many people do when they visit New York for the first time is that they spend too much time around Times Square. Don’t get me wrong, Times Square is amazing, but there’s so much more to experience in New York than flashing neon lights.
When I lived in New York back in 2015 I could only picture myself living in Manhattan. But when I meet my friend Linda at my dance school we decided to move to Prospect Park in Brooklyn. After that, I was hooked! I’m sure you will love Brooklyn as much as I do.
Brooklyn is big withdifferent neighborhoods. It can be quite difficult to figure out where to go and where it’s safe to be. That’s why I’m going to guide you through some of my favorite areas in the best burrow of New York City!
Williamsburg
Williamsburg is the place to be in Brooklyn. It has many nice restaurants, great shopping, and a really good nightlife. It’s very popular among young hipsters, and living here is as expensive as living in the city. Williamsburg is the perfect place for brunch and barhopping, and it has an amazing view over downtown Manhattan.
I would recommend you to take the subway while you’re visiting New York City. It’s the fastest and cheapest way to get around. You can get a 7 days-pass with unlimited rides for $32, or you can pay $2.75 for a single ride. The only thing you have to keep track on is if you’re going uptown or downtown. Take the L train to Bedford Avenue and you will end up in the heart of Williamsburg.
If you’re looking for something different, I would highly recommend going to Miss Favelas (57 S 5th Street) This Brazilian restaurant/bar is inspired by Rio de Janeiro. They play Samba, Forró, and Pagode music. Miss Favelas has a very chill atmosphere and a colorful decor. You can go here for either their popular Sunday brunch when they have live music and eat Feijoada, or you can just stop by in the evening for a couple of strong Caipirinhas. I tend to go here for the Caipirinhas and for some samba dancing! This place is always packed! A main course costs around $20 and their brunch is $14 per dish. Check out their website for weekly events.

I’m always looking for new places to try out. One of my favorite places is La Esquina. They have four restaurants in the city. The flagship restaurant is located in downtown Manhattan in an area called Nolita. Nolita is located between Soho and Lower East Side. When you enter the restaurant in Nolita you will end up in their takeout section, they offer a few seats as well. You can also book a table downstairs in their cozy restaurant. But make your reservation in advanced since it tends to be busy. The one in Williamsburg looks like an old American diner from the outside. In the summertime, you can enjoy their cozy outdoor patio. My favorite things on the menu are the Elote callejero (grilled corn) and the barbacoa tacos. Their tacos are served on organic corn tortillas which make this place a gluten-free heaven and a haven to your wallet as well.

One thing you can’t miss when you are in Williamsburg is the Wythe Hotel (80 Wythe Avenue) and their amazing rooftop. To watch the sun go down over Manhattan is just breathtaking. They have a big outdoor space but the inside bar is cozy during the wintertime. It’s perfect for a date or just to enjoy a couple of drinks with your friends. This hotel offers amazing rooms with views of the Manhattan skyline. If you ever feel like treating yourself a little extra, book a room at this hotel and you will feel like you’re in a movie! The rate for a standard room with a queen size bed starts at $395.

Vintage shopping in Brooklyn
This area offers really good vintage shopping as well. One of my favorite stores is Buffalo Exchange (504 Driggs Avenue) I have found so many great deals in that store. They have four more stores in New York, the other one in Brooklyn is located at 109 Boerum and the one in Queens you find at 29-16 Ditmars Blvd. Manhattan has two stores, one in East Village at 332 E 11th Street and one in Chelsea at 114 West 26th Street.
Further down the street from the Buffalo Exchange store in Williamsburg can you find another vintage store called Monk Vintage (496 Driggs Avenue). It’s smaller but still offers a lot of great shoes, clothes, and accessories. Only a few steps away is Crossroads Trading Co. (135 N 7th Street) This place offers a 24-hours drop of selling service Monday through Thursday. You will definitely walk away with some great deals.

When you’re in New York, you can’t skip out on brunch. Sweet Chick (164 Bedford Avenue) serves really good drinks and offers everything from chicken and waffles to buttermilk pancakes, and of course mac and cheese. Try the drink Queen of New York, containing fresh strawberries, sparkling rose, and cognac. They also have a place on the Lower East Side, which is really nice.
Their specialty is Chicken and Waffles. Photo: Sweet ChickSweet Chick In Williamsburg. Photo: Mike’s Hot Honey
As mentioned before, Williamsburg is the perfect place for barhopping and clubbing. This area really comes to life during the summer. Freehold (45 S 3rd Street) is the place to go to for all of your needs. It offers all different kind of events and has a big outdoor patio, which is really popular. It is guaranteed to give you the real Brooklyn feel!
One thing I love about Brooklyn is the chill and laidback atmosphere. For that, I know two bars that fit right into that description. I really think you need to visit. The first one is called The Woods. They are known for their cheap drinks and if you get hungry while partying you can step outside to their outdoor patio and buy tacos from their food truck. After that, you should continue your night towards Bembe. This venue is small and intimate. They play everything from salsa, kuduro, dancehall and global beats. Go to their website to check out their weekly calendar. Last time I was there a guy played the drums to the beats. He had everybody dancing and sweating for hours. If you like to dance, this is the place to go to!

Dumbo/Brooklyn Heights
Are you looking to take some amazing photos of New York? Jump on the F train and get off at York Street and walk towards Washington Street. Here you will find a lot of people snapping selfies with the Manhattan Bridge in the background.
For more pictures and stunning views of Manhattan, walk towards Brooklyn Bridge Park and Brooklyn Promenade. You will see people running and doing all kinds of sports here. It’s a really nice place to come to on a Sunday for chilling or being active if you prefer that. Brooklyn Heights has some of the coziest neighborhoods. Real brownstone buildings and small cozy coffee shops.

In Brooklyn Heights, you can also find the new luxury Hotel called 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge (60 Furman St) It’s rooftop opened up earlier this year and has since then been an instant hit. Who doesn’t want to come for pool parties with the Manhattan skyline and Brooklyn Bridge as the backdrop? Take the elevator to the top floor and snap some amazing photos here as well. The price for a double room is around $680. It’s a bit expensive but totally worth it…

Downtown Brooklyn/Park Slope/Fort Green
If you want to spend a day shopping you don’t have to go all the way to Manhattan. The area around Atlantic Avenue and Barclays Center offers some really good shopping. If you want to watch some basketball, Barclays center is the home arena for Brooklyn Nets as well as the New York Islanders that play in the National Hockey League. Barclay Center have a lot of music concerts as well.
My favorite street for shopping in Downtown Brooklyn is Fulton Street. I usually take the subway to Hoyt Street or DeKalb Avenue. They have everything from H&M, Nordstrom Racks, Century 21 and Macys.
When I need to recharge my battery I always end up at Juniors (386 Flatbush Avenue). They are known for their amazing cheesecakes. But the fact that they serve breakfast and brunch food all day long here makes it one of my favorite spots. They have one restaurant at 45th St and one at 49th St in Manhattan as well.

When it comes to burgers and fast food, many people like Five Guys burgers, but I think that Shake Shack is the ultimate winner. Their chocolate milkshake tastes like a chocolate lovers dream. And don’t forget to order some cheesy bacon fries on your burger. They have one restaurant at 409 Fulton Street and one at 170 Flatbush Avenue.

If you walk on Flatbush Avenue from Barclays Center, you’ll find many great restaurants. Piquant (259 Flatbush Avenue) offers a modern twist to the American southwest cuisine. They have a really nice outdoor seating available during summertime. I like to go here for their weekend brunch between 10 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. If you pay $12, you get unlimited Mimosas, Bloody Mary’s or Sangria for 1 1/2 hour. Perfect place to have a birthday brunch at! A brunch here costs around $20. Across the street from Piquant can you find another great brunch place called Woodland. Be sure to check it out as well!

Now, get on the Train and go out and explore Brooklyn, I promise you will love it!
It’s finally the time of the year to start Christmas shopping. Here’s the ultimate Scandinavian gift guide where you’ll find the perfect gift for both your beauty obsessed best friend as well as your stylish brother.
If you are a Swedish parent raising children abroad, there are many reasons for teaching them your native language: it deepens their connection with the Swedish culture, it helps them communicate with family and friends when visiting Sweden, it’s good for children’s development to be bilingual, and it often feels more natural to speak in your mother tongue with your child.
Unfortunately, it can be challenging for children living in the U.S. to speak enough Swedish to be fluent. One great way to keep the language alive is by signing up for a Swedish school. There are many schools across the country, and while they vary greatly in size and structure, they all offer a place to practice Swedish while learning about Swedish culture.
To give you more of an insight in to the schools and how they work, we decided to interview Margareta Saperston, headmaster of Svenska Skolan, L.A., and Mimmi Skoglund, Director of the Scandinavian School in San Francisco.
Interviews:
Margareta Saperston, headmaster of Svenska Skolan, Los Angeles:
“Excuse me for a second, that’s a new family, I have to say hello!” Margareta Saperston, the founder and headmaster of Svenska Skolan LA, has barely sat down for our interview before she is up on her feet again, demonstrating one of the reasons that her school has become such a huge success. Her warmth and tireless commitment to making everyone feel welcome is a big part of what makes Svenska Skolan LA so much more than just a place for studying Swedish – it has become a community of friends for almost a hundred local families with ties to Sweden.
Once the new student has found the right classroom and her parents are settled in the break room with coffee and pastries, Margareta returns to tell us about how her children inspired her to start her own Swedish school back in 1977.
Parents can enjoy a fika in the coffe room, while their children are in class.
“There had been a Swedish school here in LA before, but it was closed by the time my children came of age. A friend and I felt that we really wanted a school, so we collected names of interested parents and presented it to the Swedish Consulate, who gave us the go-ahead to start one.” While her friend helped her get started with the idea, she was the one who took care of everything and founded the school on her own.
Svenska Skolan LA is located at The First United Methodist Church in Santa Monica.
“The purpose of the school,” Margareta says, “is to keep Sweden in the hearts and minds of Swedish families here, to teach traditions, and to keep the Swedish language alive and up to date.”
Since it is an after-school program the teachers are not as strict as in regular school about the students sitting still at a desk and studying during class. “We are trying to teach them, without them knowing that they are being taught, especially the younger children. They have fun learning by playing games and singing. The main idea is to have the children express themselves in Swedish with their families. Most of them go to Sweden a lot, and that way they can be participants in conversations, instead of bystanders.”
The students can borrow books and games from Svenska Skolan’s library which is open during school hours.
The school offers classes for children from age one and a half up to age fourteen. The classes are mainly intended for children who speak some Swedish at home. “In order to be supported by Skolverket (The Swedish National Agency for Education), Swedish has to be a living language in the homes of the students. Of course, ‘a living language’ is an interpretive thing, but basically we are supposed to further a language that is already spoken.”
However, the school never turns away anyone interested in the Swedish language. It offers a beginners children’s class called Nya Vikingarna (The New Vikings), as well as an adult Swedish class that is popular among spouses interested in learning the language.
“There are so many benefits with being bilingual”, says Margareta. “Learning a second language at an early age has a positive effect on a child’s intellectual and mental development, plus it leaves students with more thinking flexibility, empathy to different languages and better listening skills. Just knowing that languages are different for different people is a very deep knowledge I think.”
Mimmi Skoglund – Director of The Scandinavian School in San Fransisco
Like many other Swedish Schools across the country The Scandinavian School in San Francisco was started by new parents living abroad wishing to connect with other Swedes. What started as a playgroup for five children back in 2002 has now grown into a hugely successful Scandinavian preschool and cultural center. It offers a full-time preschool taught entirely in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish, a part time outdoor preschool program, as well as language classes and cultural events for both children and adults, with additional classes taught in Marine and Menlo Park.
The school has a progressive curriculum and philosophy, which focuses on democracy, healthy living, sustainability, and gender equality.
“We are proud to be the only school we know of in San Francisco that doesn’t base our admission on gender,” says one of the school’s directors, Mimmi Skoglund, passionately. It quickly becomes clear that this is a place that truly practices what they preach – gender equality and democracy are at the core of the school’s curriculum and organization.
“Generally, schools try to admit an equal number of girls and boys to create a balance, but by doing that they are assuming that boys and girls are different. Instead we base admission on age and nationality, trying to balance the number of students from the three countries that are at the school.”
“I am very interested in genderology”, says Mimmi. “Girls and boys are often addressed with different expectations – for instance, girls may be complimented on their clothes and boys may be given more freedom to be rowdy. Children’s books often include girls as princesses, while the scary characters often are male. It is important that we are aware of this when we speak with children.” The school also makes an effort not to buy books that create preconceived notions about girls and boys. “It is not that boys and girls have to be exactly they same,” Mimmi adds, “but we have to make sure that all children get the same rights and opportunities to be who they are and who they want to be.”
Another extremely important thing is democracy. “We can’t just teach children about democracy, they have to learn about it by being a part of it; they have to feel that they have a say in the decisions that are made at the school.”
This method can be quite different from that at other schools in the US and they are often asked how they deal with discipline. “We don’t believe in punishing the children. Schools often talk about consequences and rewards, but at our school we try to find the source of the problem instead, and then we try to solve it. A child who is misbehaving might be tired or hungry or sad, and we need to help them resolve that instead of punishing them.”
The school has a “full immersion” program, meaning that only Scandinavian languages are spoken during classes. Most students come from Scandinavian families, but there are also a few American families that are so impressed by the schools values that they enroll their children. “If the child is young enough there is no problem leaning new languages, and they get the added bonus of becoming multi-lingual.”
The Scandinavian School in San Francisco is inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy which is currently very popular in Sweden as well. “The child is considered to have three teachers: The adult who helps the child explore; other children – children learn from each other; and finally, the child’s surroundings,” Mimmi explains. “A room can give a child a lot of information. If, for example, all valuable items are stored out of reach, it gives the child a different experience than if they are easily reachable and they realize that they are trusted with valuable things.”
Another focus is health and sustainability – the school recycles as much as possible and all meals are organic, vegetarian and prepared with vegetables that are bought locally.
“The children get to taste, smell, and feel the food in the kitchen atelier under the guidance of our “Ecologista”. It’s a word we’ve made up ourselves” Mimmi laughs. (They also have an Atelierista, who teaches art.)
While the main focus is on the preschool, there is an abundance of classes and activities offered for older children and adults. The holiday season is a great time for local families to check out fun events like baking or creating Christmas ornaments! For more information go to https://www.scandinavianschool.org/
December 7: On the banks of the murky Potomac, the Christmas trees glittered behind the expansive glass windows of theHouse of Sweden. Swedish Christmas goats, Julbockar, welcomed guests. And for once the banter avoided the typical Washington D.C. fare of politics and President Donald Trump. Instead, the crowd gathered in universally good cheer.
Perhaps it was the glögg. The annual Christmas event of the DC Chapter of the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce (SACC-DC) included the usual Swedish traditions such as a Luciatåg and a typical Swedish julbord. But it was a newfangled version of the most traditional drinks — white glögg — that seemed the most popular offering. The supplies ran out.
The House of Sweden designed by architects Gert Wingårdh and Tomas Hansen is reminiscent of Scandinavian design, featuring straight lines, marble, and warm maple wood. Its doors opened in 2006, providing Washington D.C. with a unique event venue — the only place in D.C. with panoramic views of the Potomac River, Kennedy Center, Air Force Memorial and Watergate Complex.
Charismatic Chairman Christer Bergman initiated festivities with his deadpan Swedish humor, perhaps lost on some of the foreigners. He emphasized the importance of December in Sweden. “Holiday with Lucia is a highlight of the year and it kickstarts the holiday season to be filled with love and joy for your family and loved ones.” He also encouraged individuals and companies to join the SACC-DC family, for a small fee, of course.
The event’s main sponsor, the SAAB group, invited guests to taste the classic Swedish julbord which had everything you’d expect. There were two types of salmon – cold smoked and marinated – meatballs, lingonberries, beet salad, ham and herring.
Toward the end of the evening, a Saint Lucia procession complete with two stjärngossar (star boys) sang a medley of tunes, including a tearjerking rendition of Hallelujah in Swedish.
For the non-Swedes in the crowd, an educational discourse was offered on how the heroic tale of the female martyr Lucia from Italy made its way to Scandinavia. The crown of lights represents the flames that never touched her, and the red sash embodies how she was slain by sword. Or so the legend goes.
The festivities rounded out with exciting raffles prizes, including two watches by Daniel Wellington, an IKEA gift basked, a weekend stay at the Georgetown Suites hotel, and several tickets to the Washington Capitals ice hockey games. A Swedish brand frying pan also was given away.
The SACC-DC provides an opportunity for young ambitious Swedes seeking professional experience in the US to apply for internships. Companies can offer an internship spot if they are SACC-DC members.
For young Americans interested in learning more about the Swedish way of life, there is a trainee program for U.S. citizens seeking internship opportunities in Sweden. The chamber’s umbrella organization, SACC-USA, facilitates the program. Apply now!

Instead of seeing failures as…well, failures, why not see them as entertaining opportunities to learn something? That is the idea behind the Swedish Museum of Failure, which showcases a collection of epic fails by some of the world’s best known companies. Apple’s iconic technology failure, “The Newton”; the coffee and coke mixture, Coca-Cola BlāK, disastrous marketing campaigns like “Bic for Her” and “Colgate’s Beef Lasagna”. Even President Trump’s version of Monopoly from 1989 are on display in the exhibit, alongside artifacts spanning from the 17th century up to present day.

Contradictory to its name, the museum has quickly become a huge success, drawing massive audiences at its original location in the Swedish city of Helsingborg, and is now a touring world-wide exhibit with its first stop in LA.
The museum’s founder and curator, psychologist and innovation researcher, Dr. Samuel West, is still getting used to the overwhelming success. “I just can’t believe that people are interested in coming to my little exhibit,” he laughs in an interview with Swedes in the States a few days after launch of the U.S. tour.
Photo credit: Ashley Tom (The Rose Group)
West initially organized the show as a new way to communicate research findings in a media world that competes with constant celebrity updates and success stories. “I was fed up with being force-fed stories about successful, beautiful people doing things like cross-fit training all day long. We need a counter reaction to that.” West continues, “The aim with the show is to communicate that we need to accept failure if we want progress.”
While the underlying message is both serious and thought-provoking, the show is as light-hearted and fun as its organizer.
“The exhibit is funny, there is no way around it. Which is good, because we learn more if we are engaged and amused.”

Once visitors have digested the fact that everyone, including otherwise extremely successful corporations, make mistakes they can anonymously confess their own failures in the museum’s Failure Confession Booth and post for everyone to view – thus becoming part of the museum experience themselves.

In addition to the tour, the museum is planning on opening a permanent exhibit here in LA “at the most perfect location possible”.
“I can’t tell you the location yet,” says West, though it is obvious that he would love to divulge the information.”Let’s just say that if the exhibit were in Paris, the location would be the Eiffel Tower.”
We’ll keep you posted! In the meantime you can enjoy the show at the Architecture and Design Museum in Downtown LA through February 4th, 2018.
(The U.S. part of the world-tour will include exhibits in Texas, Denver, New Jersey, Chicago, and either Las Vegas or San Francisco. Exact dates TBD.)
