The marzipan pig is a traditional German, Dutch, Belgian, and Scandinavian confectionery consisting of marzipan shaped as a pig.
During Jul in Denmark,, a Christmas Eve tradition is to eat a rice porridge known as risalamande. A single almond is hidden in the porridge. Whoever finds the almond receives a marzipan pig as a prize.
In Germany, marzipan pigs are given at New Year's for good luck (Glücksschwein).
