These are pickled herring served in a variety of sauces that can easily buy in cans. They are the first course of a traditional Swedish Christmas buffet, usually eaten with boiled potatoes.

Glögg
Budget: £
This is a famous warm mulled wine in the Nordic countries during this Christmas season, called Glögg. It is made of red wine combined with fruit extract and spices such as cinnamon, cardamom and cloves, sugar or molasses. It is heated to 60-70 degrees avoid boiling off the alcohol, and add almonds and rasins to it when serving.
When warming the Glögg, put it into a bowl then into a saucepan with water. Avoid heating it too much if you want alcohol in it!
It certainly will give you a warm and festive feeling!
