Sunday, 30 November at 11:00 a.m.

hvidesande.by and Klittens Borgerforening invite you to one of the most atmospheric traditions of the year when the Christmas ship docks at the quay in front of Café Marina.

On the North Sea, Santa Claus and his elves naturally arrive by boat. It is a magical sight when the decorated ship approaches and docks, while the excited children gather at the quay. Here you can really feel how the sea and the harbour environment provide a very special setting for the tradition.

Cosy atmosphere in the old box hall

From the harbour, we walk together to the old box hall (Undertøjshallen) at Rødspættevej 6, where the Christmas spirit really unfolds. Here, a good hour filled with Christmas cheer and activities for the whole family awaits:

Dancing around the Christmas tree
Serving of rice pudding and hot juice
Gluhwein and "æbleskiver" available for purchase
Free bags of sweets for all children in attendance

Free and open to all

The event is free, and everyone is welcome to attend. It is an excellent opportunity to gather the family and experience the Christmas spirit unfolding naturally in the authentic setting of the harbour. There is room for togetherness, community and good traditions.

Wrap up warm and come down to the harbour – we look forward to seeing you!
