Cinnamon Bun Day
Cinnamon Bun Day (“Kanelbullens dag”) is celebrated every year on 4 October in Sweden to honour the beloved pastry. The cinnamon bun is an iconic part of Swedish fika culture and has been a staple in Swedish homes since the 1920s.
Celebrating Cinnamon Bun Day gives us the opportunity to gather for a fika – the classic Swedish coffee break where people enjoy something sweet together with a cup of coffee – and savour this traditional pastry. It is also a chance to celebrate Swedish traditions and the joy of baking, both at home and in bakeries.
