Swedish-Themed Snacks 🇸🇪

To honor the host country, why not bring some Swedish flavors to your snack table?

Glitter & Pop Snacks ✨🎤

Since Melodifestivalen is all about sparkle, let your snacks shine too!

  • Popcorn with Edible Glitter – A touch of edible glitter makes this simple snack extra festive.

  • DIY Candy Bar – Fill bowls with colorful candies like Swedish Fish, sour gummies, and chocolate.
  • Champagne or Mocktail Gummies – Because Mello night deserves a touch of glam!

Fun & Shareable Snacks 🎶

If you’re watching with friends, these are perfect for sharing (or keeping all to yourself—we won’t judge!).

  • Mini Hot Dogs (Korv med Bröd) – A fun, easy-to-eat Swedish classic.
  • Taco Bar – Swedes love their “Fredagsmys” (cozy Friday nights with tacos), and Mello is the perfect excuse to join in!
  • Nachos with Cheese & Salsa – A guaranteed crowd-pleaser.
  • Mozzarella Sticks – Because melty cheese and Mello go hand in hand.

Drinks to Keep You Hydrated Between Schlager Anthems 🍹

  • Hallonsoda – A classic Swedish raspberry soda for a sweet, fizzy kick.
  • Saft (Fruit Cordial) – Mix with sparkling water for a refreshing, colorful drink.
  • Melodifestivalen Cocktails – Try a pink gin & tonic or a sparkling berry mocktail to stay on theme.
