DECEMBER
Party Season – Step by Step
1. Skincare
When party time approaches, many of us like to make an extra effort. If there’s one thing we know, it’s that the key to a great look is to start from the ground – namely, with your skin. Let the festivities begin in the NOFO Hotel Shop, where we’ve just expanded with an entirely new skincare brand. You’ll now find a handpicked selection from YAY YAY – a Swedish brand offering premium Japanese skincare inspired by simple rituals, gentle formulas, and a “less-is-more” approach to beauty.
2. Outfit Shopping
Once your base is set and your skin is glowing like never before, it’s time for the next step: the outfit. To help you hunt for that perfect Christmas or New Year’s party look, we’ve created our very own holiday shopping map, filled with hidden gems and fresh inspiration – whether you’re searching for a blazer, indoor shoes, a hostess gift, or a
fun accessory.
3. Predrink
With your skin and outfit sorted, it’s officially time to turn your attention to the drinks and in true holiday spirit, we’re going all in on Christmas this time.
The NOFO recipe for mulled wine
is technically a closely guarded secret, mostly because it lives in our heads and refuses to be written down properly. But as a Christmas gift to you, here is the closest thing you’ll ever get to the real NOFO version – a gentle guideline for a drink meant to be perfected by taste rather than measurement.
4. Pre-party music
You’re looking better than ever, holding a glass of incredibly flavorful mulled wine, and now there’s only one thing missing: the music. To get you warmed up for the festivities, we’ve put together a brand-new playlist with Bave — whose brand-new album just dropped and is already shifting the vibe in all the right ways. Head over to NOFO’s Spotify and let the party spirit hit you.

Bonus tip!
If you’re looking for a festivity to get ready for and haven’t secured your New Year’s plans yet: come celebrate with us! This year, NOFO is hosting a seated New Year’s dinner – the perfect start before heading out to watch the fireworks from Stockholm’s perhaps best viewpoint Gondolen.
