Mother’s Day Brunch Around the World​​​​​​

1. Sweden: “Mors Dag” – Breakfast in Bed

In Sweden, Mother’s Day—known as “Mors Dag”—is a warm and personal affair. Children wake up early to prepare a surprise breakfast for their mothers, complete with freshly baked bread, coffee, and a marzipan cake. It’s a beautiful tradition that unites families and allows moms to feel loved and appreciated.

Of course, a homemade breakfast is always special, many families also opt for a special brunch outing to create an even more memorable experience. Imagine enjoying a gourmet spread, complete with stunning views and a lively atmosphere, as a way to elevate this cherished tradition.
