It’s that time of year again where we all want to hibernate from the brutally cold weather, but there are ways to get around the winter blues! One way is to celebrate all the warm and cozy moments. It’s all about HYGGE! Hygge (pronounced “hoo-ga”), is a Danish concept that involves coziness & togetherness and has been part of the Danish culture for years. Hygge can occur alone or in groups; at home or out on the town; and can be as simple as reading a good book by the fireplace. Sharing moments is always more fun, so why not invite your friends over for a hygge party?!! I guarantee you will forget about the cold weather and you will be smiling all night long. Here are some ideas to host the ultimate hygge party.
HOW TO THROW A HYGGE PARTY
ON THE MENU: Any kind of comfort foods! Mac N Cheese. Poutine. A hearty or cream soup. Chilli. Grilled cheese sandwiches. Casseroles. Pancakes. Butter tarts. Pies. Butter popcorn.
BEVERAGES: Hot chocolate all the way! I made a hot cocoa bar for my guest and it was a big hit. They enjoyed loading up with all the different toppings and creating their own flavour.
DECOR: Candles, candles candles!!! Twinkle lights are also great for giving that magical hygge touch. Push back your couch and get out the air mattress. Grab some cozy blankets and pillows for your guest to keep warm and lay out on. Check out Wayfair for a great selection on all winter decor accessories.
ENTERTAINMENT: Snuggle under the blankets and watch a feel-good movie.
DRESS CODE: Onesies or PJs and warm fuzzy socks!
