The Spirit of the Season
Alexandra Kahts-Winje, a destination sales representative, emphasizes the importance of togetherness during the holidays: “It is filled with joy and anticipation. But perhaps most important of all is the sense of community. Doing things together. It doesn’t have to be big, remarkable or expensive. Sometimes the small and close things are enough.”
A Unique Dining Experience
In addition to traditional holiday fare, Halmstad is offering a special treat for food enthusiasts. On November 8th and 9th, Restaurant Fyr will be serving an authentic recreation of the Nobel Prize dinner prepared by acclaimed chef Jacob Holmström in December 2023.
