Onsdagen den 2 december är det dags för nästa samtalsklubb! Vi bjuder på glögg och du kan prata svenska med andra medlemmar som antingen har svenska som modersmål, eller som vill träna på sin svenska i konversation. Alla kunskapsnivåer (särskilt nybörjare) är varmt välkomna!

The Swedish Club of Houston welcomes Camp Sweden (the Swedish National Soccer Team fan club) and all visitors to Houston for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. To help make your stay both enjoyable and memorable, we’ve curated this selection of recommended restaurants, sightseeing, and live music experiences.

Note that this list represents only a small sample of the exceptional cuisine and vibrant culture Houston—one of the most diverse food cities in the United States—has to offer.

One of the objectives and goals of the Swedish Club of Houston is to locate and join together people interested in Swedish heritage (Swedes, Swedish descendants, and others) in the Houston area, primarily through informal events and get-togethers, social as well as cultural.

The Club currently counts just under 120 members who meet at various events throughout the year, such as the annual Pea Soup and Pancakes supper, Kräftskiva (Crayfish Party), Valborgsmässoafton (Bonfire), Smörgåsbord, and Christmas Traditions/Lucia program, as well as special events centered around cultural happenings.

God Jul och Gott Nytt År!

If you would like to ensure that you go home with one (or more) of these items, we are now accepting pre-orders for pick-up at our Lucia celebration.  Click here to pre-order your Cardamom Braids and/or Cinnamon Breads; the price for each is only $20!

Every year, SCH members get together to make candy-filled Christmas tree decorations called julgranskarameller.  Some will hang on the Christmas tree at our Lucia celebration, and later the jultomte will give the rest out to all the children.  This year, we will include other traditional Christmas crafts to decorate with as well for our venue.  Bring the supplies for a craft you would like to share with others.

This year's workshop will be on Sunday, November 15, 2026 at the home of Marie Teahen, 23114 San Salvador Pl (Katy), from 1:00 PM until 4:00 PM (or come and go whenever!).

Please bring a dessert to share for our Swedish Coffee Table.  Optionally, bring craft material to teach others to do a Swedish Christmas craft or to learn how to do it together with others.  A pair of good scissors is also recommended!  RSVP to Marie at 978-239-4843 (call or text) or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
