Christmas buffets in Småland and on Öland offer traditional dishes with a local touch. In Småland, you’ll often find kroppkakor (potato dumplings), isterband (smoked sausages), and homemade bread alongside classics such as herring and ham. On Öland, lamb, local cheeses, and Öland-style kroppkakor are often featured on the table. Many farms and inns serve their buffets in historic settings, which adds a particularly atmospheric feeling.

The History of the Christmas Buffet

The Swedish Christmas buffet has old traditions, although eating Christmas food already on December 24 is relatively modern. Here we sort out a few things about the Swedish Christmas buffet, with a focus on Småland and Öland specialties and traditions.
