Thanks to all participants for making our Online Advent Calendar a success.

Also congratulations to our final prize winners Kristen, John, Teresa, Ida, and Ingrid. You have each won a marvellous calendar about Germany, sponsored by the German Consulate General in Vancouver.

A special shout-out to Arlene who clinched the grand prize - a delightful Chest full of Gingerbread from Gingerbread World. Well done, Arlene!

A Soup for Cold Days

This timeless Bone Marrow Dumpling Soup (Markklöchen Suppe) derives its luxurious richness from the incorporation of bone marrow in crafting the dumplings. These delectable dumplings can be conveniently prepared ahead of time, allowing you to freeze them for later enjoyment on a freezing cold winter day!
