A country with a similar tradition to eating julgrot, a Norwegian rice porridge often enjoyed during Christmas, is Sweden. In Sweden, a similar dish called "risgrynsgröt" is served, particularly during the holiday season. Both dishes highlight the use of rice and milk, and it is common to find almonds hidden within, with the person who finds it considered lucky. These traditions reflect the broader Scandinavian love for warm, comforting dishes during winter festivities.
Julgrot is eaten so that you have a happy new year. It is a Swedish tradition to help your year be lucky.
