A Sweet Summer Treat: Ole & Steen’s Generous Cinnamon Social Giveaway
This June, Ole & Steen, the esteemed Danish bakery renowned for its authentic Scandinavian treats, is celebrating Midsommar with a remarkable giveaway that promises to be the UK’s biggest free Danish pastry event to date. In a gesture that epitomises the spirit of hygge – an untranslatable Danish concept embracing cosiness and contentment – Ole & Steen is gifting a staggering 250,000 slices of their beloved Cinnamon Social to pastry lovers across the country.
A Midsommar Celebration
Midsommar, a cherished Scandinavian tradition, marks the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, with joyous festivities on June 23 and 24. This enchanting celebration involves dancing around the Midsummer maypole, donning flower wreaths, playing games, and gathering around bonfires. It’s a time for community, merriment, and of course, delightful food.
In the true spirit of Midsommar, Ole & Steen is inviting the UK to partake in this vibrant festivity by sharing their signature Cinnamon Social. This layered pastry, with its soft, flavourful fillings and perfect icing drizzle, is the epitome of Danish baking excellence. For those seeking a plant-based option, a vegan version is available, ensuring everyone can enjoy a slice of this Scandinavian delight.
A Taste of Hygge
Ole & Steen’s Cinnamon Social, also known as kanalstang in Danish, is not just a pastry; it’s a social experience. Whether shared as a 12 or 6 slice bake among friends or savoured individually by the slice, this pastry is designed to bring people together, embodying the very essence of hygge. Normally priced at £4.25 per slice, the giveaway offers a delightful free treat to both new and loyal customers.
To participate, new customers need only to download the Ole & Steen app and register, upon which they will receive 450 points – sufficient for a free slice of Cinnamon Social. Existing app users aren’t forgotten; they too will receive a complimentary 450 points as a token of appreciation for their continued loyalty.
