Скачать или смотреть Fastelavn - Five things you might not know about the Danish tradition

Fastelavn is one of Denmark’s most festive traditions, especially for kids! Here are 5 important things Danes do to celebrate:

1️⃣ “Slå katten af tønden” – Hit the barrel until the candy spills out! The “Cat King” and “Cat Queen” are crowned based on who knocks out the bottom and the last plank. 🏆🎭

2️⃣ Fastelavnsboller – Delicious cream-filled buns that make the celebration even sweeter. 🍩✨

3️⃣ Costumes & Masks – Like a Danish version of Halloween! Kids (and some adults) dress up for parties or go door to door. 🎭👻

4️⃣ Fastelavnsris – Decorated twigs, once used for playful “whipping” but now more of a fun decoration. 🌿🎀

5️⃣ Singing for Treats – Kids go around singing “Fastelavn er mit navn, boller vil jeg have,” hoping for candy or coins. 🍬💰
