Glögg is sometimes referred to as Swedish punch or Finnish mulled wine.
Glögg is traditionally drunk during Advent and especially during the Lucia Festival . There are also lussekatter (sweet yeast rolls with saffron) and gingerbread. In the run-up to Christmas, glögg is offered everywhere in Sweden and also in Finland at any time of the day, even without alcohol. In the grocery stores and in the state shops for alcoholic beverages ( Systembolaget in Sweden; Alko in Finland) you can buy seasoned mixtures with different alcohol content.
