Today is fettisdagen in Sweden and swedes will eat 6 million semlor today.

[swedishtraditions @swetraditions]

A semla is a sweet bun filled with almond paste and topped with whipped cream. This pastry is served up until, and on, Shrove Tuesday, fettisdagen in Swedish. This day falls 40 days before Easter and is the last day before Lent.

In Sweden New Year's Day is also pizza day.

[swedishtraditions @swetraditions]

This is not a coincidence, but the result of a genius marketing campaign by an online pizza delivery service. In 2008, they launched New Year’s Day as Big Pizza Day. Media joined in, and every year you now can read about pizzerias working more than ever.

Today it's one of the most important symbols of christmas in Sweden.
