Marzipan pigs
A homemade marzipan pig, an example of a typical "almond present"

The marzipan pig is a traditional German, Dutch, Belgian, and Scandinavian confectionery consisting of marzipan shaped as a pig.

During Jul in Norway and Sweden, a tradition is to eat a rice porridge known as risgrøt (risgrynsgröt in Swedish); a single almond is hidden in the porridge. Whoever finds the almond receives a marzipan pig as a prize.[1] The same tradition exists for Christmas Eve in Denmark, but with risalamande.

In Germany, marzipan pigs are given at New Year's for good luck (Glücksschwein).[2]
