Christmas in the Netherlands
Overview
Intro
This year, the Netherlands is a Christmas guest at the Kindermuseum. Why are the children so eagerly awaiting the arrival of Sinterklaas? And why are there no presents under the Christmas tree?
Welcome to the Dutch Christmas season, where many things are different and some things are also very familiar. The festive season in the Netherlands begins in mid-November with the arrival of Sinterklaas. On the Saturday after St. Martin's Day - this year on November 18 - he arrives in the Netherlands by ship from Spain. During his stay until December 6, St. Nicholas Day, he distributes small gifts to the children in their shoes every day. The actual gift-giving takes place on the evening before his departure, on December 5, the so-called Pakjesavond. Only then are the Christmas trees put up and people wish each other Vrolijk kerstfeest! - Merry Christmas!
The exhibition provides surprising insights into the Dutch Christmas season and brings the festivities to life from different perspectives. The Kindermuseum offers a varied program of activities around the exhibition. School classes can take part in a guided tour and then decorate a chocolate letter in the Christmas bakery.
