The Swedish Candy Calendar: Julgodis, Påskgodis and More
Swedish candy follows the seasons, from Christmas julgodis to Easter påskgodis and Midsummer. Here is the Swedish candy calendar.
Swedish candy follows the calendar: julgodis (Christmas candy) brings chocolate and knäck toffee in December, påskgodis (Easter candy) fills paper eggs in spring, and Midsummer means a casual candy spread. Plus every Saturday is lördagsgodis. Sweets are woven through the Swedish year.
Christmas: julgodis
December brings chocolate, knäck (a chewy toffee), and festive pick-and-mix.
Easter: påskgodis
Easter means colorful candy stuffed into large paper eggs, a Swedish springtime classic.
Midsummer and Saturdays
Midsummer gets a casual candy spread, and every week has its Saturday candy. Stock up from the range.

Gustav grew up in Sweden on a strict Saturday-candy schedule, mixing his lördagsgodis bag at the lösgodis wall before he could spell salmiak. He has spent years tasting his way across Scandinavian candy, and now curates the range at TheSweetsTruck, from BUBS sour skulls to the saltiest licorice most people cannot finish.
