Holiday Hygge and a Scandi inspired free printable

Holiday Hygge

Hygge, pronounced (Hue-gah), can be generally described as a feeling of coziness, comfort, familiarity, friendship, laughter and seasonal homemade food and drinks. Although it’s possible to achieve hygge any time of the year (an outdoor BBQ with friends or a movie under the stars with family are good examples of summertime hygge), Hygge is usually associated with the colder months because of it’s ability to uplift spirits during the dark, long winter. Hygge is perfect for the holiday season because the concept is all about peaceful, cozy surroundings that fill you with a feeling of contentment. Let’s look at some simple ways you can bring holiday hygge into your home this season.

Host family and friends

The holidays bring so many opportunities to host get-togethers for your loved ones. Be sure not to stress over these gatherings though! Hygge parties are relaxed, friendly, and homey.

Warm lighting

You’ll want to light some candles, have a fire, or set up string lights for that warm sense of hygge. Warm lighting is essential for a holiday hygge vibe.

Cozy linens, blankets, and textures

Get out your soft, fluffy blankets and keep them on the couch or chairs and by the windows, so that you can easily cuddle up with your favorite book and relax.

Home cooking and baking

Cooking a traditional holiday meal and/or treats will help bring holiday hygge into your home. Comfort foods like holiday ham, stews, savory flatbreads, cookies, and cinnamon apple pie will create soul-warming scents, and make your home feel cozy and cared for.
