Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that jazz! This year I decided to visit the Christmas market in Sigtuna, the oldest town in Sweden, and see what Christmassy things I could find there.

The Christmas market in Sigtuna is more than 70 years old, and it's a beloved tradition for people from Stockholm as well as other towns. It's not the oldest Christmas market in Sweden, nor the biggest one, but it's packed with people and merchants even on a rainy day like this.

In this video I explore all the things for sale at the market, and I also tell you about the history of Christmas markets in general. I also discuss the history of the town of Sigtuna, with its viking heritage. But most of all, I just have a lot of fun.

Have you ever wondered what the Lucia tradition is in Sweden? Or what glögg is? Or why we have weird saffron buns that are called cats? I cover all this and more during this video. And I also deliver a special wish list to Santa Claus himself, who's visiting the market...
