Experience the magic of Christmas markets in Finland
...
By December, the north's dark canvass of winter has descended upon Helsinki. The distant sun pokes it head above the horizon at about 10am, hangs around for a spell, before dipping again by 4pm. When there's a sprinkling of snow on the ground and you're wrapped up in your warm winter gear, it's a great time to wander the stalls of Helsinki's Christmas Markets. Large outdoor candles burn and there's the smell of cinnamon and wood smoke in the air. Meander through the Christmas stalls in Heslinki's Senate Square and you'll come across a wide variety of beautiful handicrafts, delicious baked goods and other uniquely Finnish Christmas gifts and delicacies. Those more energetic souls can head to the Railway Square and pop on the ice skates for a few laps. Hungry? Chow down on some hot salmon soup served with crusty bread and finish it off with some freshly baked pulla. But to really warm the insides, try glögi, Finland's delicious take on warm winter wine, at its best when served with almonds and raisins. Ho ho ho indeed.
