Vegan Midsummer in Stockholm: Picnic, Schnapps & Nostalgia 🇸🇪🌿

Celebrate Swedish Midsummer with a vegan twist, canal-side charm, and my nostalgic iPhone photo ritual 🌿📱✨ In this video, I take you through my typical day as a content creator in Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪—from early-morning editing to late-night sunshine, all wrapped up in the midsummer magic of tradition, nature, and friends.

Each morning, I wake up in my cozy apartment in Midsommarkransen 🌇, a leafy and artistic suburb just outside central Stockholm. With a cup of coffee ☕ by my side, I begin editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories into short-form content for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels 🎬✨ It’s a way to recap and reflect, but also a vital part of how I stay consistent with my daily uploads as a full-time vlogger and social media creator.

Then comes my favorite quirky tradition—going through the oldest photo on my iPhone 📸. I post it publicly across my social media platforms, relive the memory, and then… delete it. This routine is my personal take on digital minimalism. It keeps my camera roll light, my feed nostalgic, and my storytelling fresh and personal. Some photos are hilarious. Some are beautiful. All of them are part of my life.

But today’s content is special: it’s Midsummer’s Eve in Sweden 🌞🇸🇪

I meet up with my friend Magnus for a classic midsommarafton celebration right by the canal at Djurgården, one of the most beautiful green islands in the middle of Stockholm. We brought a full vegan picnic:

– My signature upside-down vegan smörgåstårta 🍰

– Chilled Riesling and bubbly 🥂

– Cookies baked by Magnus 🍪

– Thermos coffee for that perfect fika moment ☕

And of course—*nubbe*. A strong herbal schnapps 🧊 traditionally sipped between songs and bites of food. The flavour? Licorice and herbs 🌿 It's sharp, weirdly good, and absolutely required.

Swedish Midsummer is HUGE here. Think flower crowns 💐, barefoot dancing around the maypole 💃, long lunch tables on lawns 🧺, and games that get sillier with each schnapps shot. It’s a wild, whimsical way to celebrate light, nature, and community.

Our spot along the canal was pure summer serenity: ducks quacking 🦆, boats drifting by with people waving in flower crowns ⛵, crows cawing overhead 🐦, and even a deer peeking out from behind the bushes 🦌 It was like a postcard.

We stayed for nearly eight hours, chatting, laughing, and enjoying the soft golden sun that refuses to set on a Swedish midsummer’s night ☀️ Around 10 PM, still in broad daylight, we packed up our things and biked back to Midsommarkransen 🚲🛍️ A bit tipsy, totally full, and deeply content.
