It's a simple fact of life that no one does wellbeing quite like the Danes. They've gifted us a myriad of cosy rituals that are so perfect for shorter days, we're considering quitting our jobs just to make sure we have time for them all (joking, but still).
Denmark is consistently ranked as one of the happiest countries in the world, coming second in The University of Oxford's 2025 World Happiness Report, despite being plunged into darkness for much of the year. While many of us in the UK can feel anxious about the nights drawing in, the Danes lean into this season. Averaging just six hours of light per day in winter, there's plenty of scope for hunkering down at home.
