A lot of people are asking about "carnation" and I think it might be more commonly known as "clove"? In Swedish it's "Nejlika" so maybe google that to see what it looks like 😃🧡
So very sweet of Christoffer to give his fans what they’ve been asking for. 😃 (I always feel like he shouldn’t be forced into the spotlight, but he’s very kind to play along!) Thanks for another lovely view into the polar night, Cecilia! ❤️
I get the feeling he’s very comfortable with the baking/cooking aspect, and that helps him be more comfortable in front of the camera during those segments.
Yes, I agree Amy Radbill. Christoffer has a gentle energy, and soft-spoken voice about him. He's courageous and goes with the flow. I'm a back of the house kind of person - Introvert. Thank you both for sharing this vid! 🙏🏼
Love the Christmas spirit of your small town. Christoffer is getting much more comfortable in front of the camera and I adore watching him bake 🎄 The cake looks amazing!
I love how the weather does not interfere with everyone's plans. If that was England everything would shut, and people would be hiding behind the sofa. Definitely going to do that cake for Christmas.
In Maryland last year they shut down the entire society for a light dusting of snow on the roads and called it severe weather. LOL. It wasn’t even a half inch and didn’t stick. I’ve never seen anything like it.
I love Christoffer baking. One day I’m going to ATTEMPT one of his recipes. A bit of research I have found that nellike is clove! Quite a few languages use the same word for the flower (carnation) as they do the spice (clove). Almost an excuse not to bake it when I couldn’t work out what carnation was. No longer 😂. I adore that tradition about Santa living in that mine btw.
Oh my god, clove!! Thank god for this, I was going crazy searching online, to be able to replicate the cake, which looks amazing and I'm definitely going to bake myself! What a relief 😂
I made this cake tonight after patiently waiting for the Lingonberry jam to arrive, since it had to be ordered through Amazon. I have to say it was well with the wait! Thank you Christoffer and Cecilia, this is now my new "secret" cake recipe for the family holidays! I can't wait to make it again.
Made this cake twice in the past 3 days, with the addition of vanilla, cardamom, and orange zest! The breadcrumb crust is delicious and I also did one with flaked almonds. Thank you for the Christmas inspo!
I'm so happy to have discovered you. This video is my favorite as is christmas and snow. I envy you so much. It is 90 degrees in indiana usa and all I dream of is snow. My co workers think I'm crazy and hate cold weather. I would do great in svalbard. Absolutely my kind of living. Your cabin is so cozy and welcoming. I know you know you very lucky. That's what I love most about you how you appreciate everything you have. When I'm stressed I just watch your videos and picture myself there. But for now... Ugh... Its air conditioning and hiding from the heat and humidity. Thank you for taking the time and showing us this wonderful beautiful place called Svalbard!!!
I love how carefully and gently Christoffer does everything when he cooks. It's so relaxing to watch and the cake looks amazing. I do not envy you out in that wind though! 🥶
Ugh I know I have said this before but I LOVE how much Christoffer has gotten better and better in front of the camera! Him starting off with a big smile saying "baking time!" made me smile soooo big :) I have enjoyed getting to know you both through your videos and appreciate how much you share your life with us! I will forever be fascinated and hope to visit some day. :)
From chilling winds, lighting the town's Christmas tree to the calm presence of Christoffer baking a family recipe ... all makes for a sense of peace. Definitely a special place.
Tack Christoffer, we’re really enjoying the Scandi cooking lessons at this end - you’re doing so well with the camera, it can’t be easy learning to talk to people who aren’t physically there with you
Cecelia going to the festival: "Ahhh it's sooo cooold! Look at my cheeks aaaagh ooohh brrrr! Eeek, ooooff!"😵😱 Grim going to the festival: "Ahhh, this is refreshing!"😊💫
I have to tell you two this I kept thinking Christopher was saying DINGLEBERRIES! That in itself is so hilarious in English it is hilarious! My husband was laughing so hard at me because I just couldn't let it pass without a bunch of raunchy kid jokes! I finally got it when I saw it written out anyhow thank you for sharing this recipe, I love watching Christopher cook and bake!
Beautiful video, beautiful location although it looks SO cold. Love Christoffer's comfort in front of the camera, now. It was like a baking show! UA-cam closed captioning thinks the name of your village is "longer boone". :D
Cecilia we are all thinking let's have a "Cooking with Christoffer Series" . I have to say he has a great approach to cooking, practical and with a touch of humour - and very Zen like! A good role model for men worldwide! Thanks to all of you for yet another delightful vlog.
Oh Mjuk Pepparkaka is 😋 yummy! It's nice to watch Christoffer baking that traditional Swedish Soft Gingerbread Cake! My grandmother made a really good such cake too and she used an old recipe but I never got it before she died and her old hand written recipe book got lost somehow among all her things! Julmust have hops ( humle) in it so it was done once to to be an alternative to alcoholic beverages for Christmas but is loved by almost all in Sweden today and a must for most on the Christmas table! I love to see the fun warm life you have on such an cold place up north. I think I have loved to live there too in that beautiful place under the Northern Lights! Lots of warm hugs ❤🥰🤗 to you Cecilia, Christoffer and sweet Grim!
I am loving these frequent videos! I enjoy all of your content but especially love Christoffer's cooking/baking. (And Grim, of course.) No snow yet here in my part of the northeast US, and I'm sad about that since I live for autumn and winter. So thankful for your videos of the beautiful polar nights! I daydream about Svalbard more and more. ❤️
Soft Gingerbread Cake is the absolute best!! A friend and I love to go to a local restaurant for Gingerbread cake, warm, with whipped cream!! It's heaven on earth!!
I haven’t even gotten to Christoffer baking, but I love that you are highlighting visiting Santa and sending lists to him, as I mentioned in earlier post my daughter aged 8, has someone telling her Santa is not real and this reassures he is real. (Clearly he lives in you town). Thank you again for keeping the magic alive for my daughter.
Wait a minute, Christopher is a total film star!!!! Why was he so reluctant in the past? He's a real addition to your vids, and honestly, he could star in his own Arctic Cooking show if he wanted, and I'd subscribe. for sure.
Such a wonderful video!! I wish there was a Way to transport that gingerbread to Massachusetts!! Wouldn't that be magical ☺️!! Christoffer's cooking is off the charts. Also, I would Love to be there for those Festivities, everyone should be able to Experience that type of happiness in their Lives. Thank you again Cecilia, I wish Vlogmas would never end. 🧑🎄🤶🎄❤️❤️
I’m currently obsessed with your videos and I’m learning so much about the Nordic culture which is amazing. You live in one of the most beautiful spots on the planet. Thank you so much for sharing! Also Love Christopher’s baking so please keep them coming 😁 ❤️ Have an amazing Christmas 🎅🏼 🎄 🐶
Love that Christopher does the baking and you watch! Thanks for sharing the return of Santa with us. I love the idea the whole town turns out even on a windy day BRRRRR;
Cecelia, you're so goofy! That's why I so like you, you're so down to earth, not pretentious or stuck up in any way. Enjoyed watching Christopher in the kitchen. He should do more cooking segments especially since he's a former chef.
I laughed when Cecelia drinks Christopher’s drink to equal what is in her glass. She ends up drinking more. Lol Christopher was so sweet in telling her to just take the one that has more just to make her happy!😊
Christoffer is in his element cooking in the kitchen! MORE! He's great! Merry Christmas Ya'all! Give the Grim one an extra hug for us! Cheers from Texas!
I was just watching Sailing Uma and seeing their sadness over leaving Svalbard. I thought “This is why Cecilia decided to stay.” I love everything about this channel. Your joy is contagious. Thank you.
Christopher seems like such a nice guy. I love a man that can bake and I’ve never found one , maybe that’s why I am single now lol . Merry Christmas you guys and thanks for sharing your amazing country xoxo
Ikea sells a special winter cola and it's got Hops in it, as well as some malt extract. My partner loves it, but the nearest Ikea to us is over a border and travelling between countries is difficult right now.
Thank you for the great recipe Christopher! Hope your baking/cooking will become a regular feature! (and I prefer it when he is able to just get on with the baking without anyone else jumping in).
Ligonberry Jam is our "go-to" jam in Minnesota! Thanks for sharing a new recipe to try for the holidays!!! It's is so much fun to watch the Holiday Season in your corner of the world! Happy Holidays!
I love seeing Christoffer in the kitchen and he explained it all so well. I am going to try this but I live in Australia so will have to use cranberries. I am excited to see how this turns out. Thanks Christoffer 😋
What a perfect way to celebrate Christmas, as the whole town turns out❤ that community spirit is heartwarming, Grim making sure his letter to Santa gets sent ok. The choir singing was magical, you and Lin giggling while freezing was so cute. Hi Chris! Best baker in the North Pole! Love how relaxed he is now on camera, the gingerbread cake looks divine xx
My man Christopher baking with precision! Yall did a great job making me feel like I was there. watching him bake and then yall try it and explaining the flavor etc. You guys are awesome.
I’m so glad UA-cam randomly recommended your channel. Your videos make me cosy, content and are so beautiful. It’s also helping me appreciate the dark nights in the UK after moving back from east Africa recently! Thank you! Xx
Its windy in Ontario. But not cold yet. Love it all and thanks for sharing. A Christmas wish come true would be to experience it there. Just too beautiful. Hi Grimm!
A lot of people are asking about "carnation" and I think it might be more commonly known as "clove"? In Swedish it's "Nejlika" so maybe google that to see what it looks like 😃🧡
Ah! It is cloves, thanks for clarifying 😊
Yep, the old recipe I have has cloves in it
Ahhh I was wondering what that was, but clove makes sense
That makes sense ... I thought either clove or nutmeg...
I did wonder about using a dried flower in a cake 😂 Yes, clove sounds accurate.
So very sweet of Christoffer to give his fans what they’ve been asking for. 😃 (I always feel like he shouldn’t be forced into the spotlight, but he’s very kind to play along!) Thanks for another lovely view into the polar night, Cecilia! ❤️
I bet he is a guy you couldn´t force into anything. And that´s part of him being very reliable
and attractive!
I get the feeling he’s very comfortable with the baking/cooking aspect, and that helps him be more comfortable in front of the camera during those segments.
Yes, I agree Amy Radbill. Christoffer has a gentle energy, and soft-spoken voice about him. He's courageous and goes with the flow. I'm a back of the house kind of person - Introvert. Thank you both for sharing this vid! 🙏🏼
I feel for Chris too.....
wow ; Cecilia got the money shot; Christoffer smiles🎉😮❤
Yay!! More recipes by Christopher the Baking Genius!
You got it! 🧡
watching Christoffer bake is making me super hungry and wishing I could eat that cake.
I love the way that Grim is bilingual, Christoffer should have a baking show, I love the way he is part of the video!
Love the Christmas spirit of your small town. Christoffer is getting much more comfortable in front of the camera and I adore watching him bake 🎄 The cake looks amazing!
Christoffer has literally the most calming energy! I 100% need to make this cake too! ❤️🎄
I agree. He needs to start a baking asmr channel
This was just amazing to watch - the festivities and Christoffer’s amazing cake!
I love how the weather does not interfere with everyone's plans. If that was England everything would shut, and people would be hiding behind the sofa. Definitely going to do that cake for Christmas.
In Maryland last year they shut down the entire society for a light dusting of snow on the roads and called it severe weather. LOL. It wasn’t even a half inch and didn’t stick. I’ve never seen anything like it.
@@Flowergirl222 Lol! Funny!
Grim is a champ. He seems very focused on the Mayor’s speech!
Christoffer is quickly becoming one of my favorite UA-cam personalities.
I love Christoffer baking. One day I’m going to ATTEMPT one of his recipes. A bit of research I have found that nellike is clove! Quite a few languages use the same word for the flower (carnation) as they do the spice (clove). Almost an excuse not to bake it when I couldn’t work out what carnation was. No longer 😂. I adore that tradition about Santa living in that mine btw.
Thankyou so much for figuring that out! I was trying to work out what carnation was and how to get ahold of it 😅
thank you, that's helpful. I was going to ask more specifics on it.
It make more sense for Santa to live in Svalbard than anywhere else. No other inhabited land mass is so close to the North Pole.
Oh my god, clove!! Thank god for this, I was going crazy searching online, to be able to replicate the cake, which looks amazing and I'm definitely going to bake myself! What a relief 😂
@@arctic_haze yes where else would he be? Of course he’s on Svalbard! Plenty of reindeer there as well!
Would love to see more of Christopher cooking and baking. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Pennsylvania, USA.
And Merry Christmas from California.
