Weihnachtsausstellungen
Seit mehr als 30 Jahren organisiert Jette Frölich regelmäßig Weihnachts¬ausstellungen. Zunächst in ihrem eigenen Haus und seit 1996 z.B. auch in einer schönen Barockstil-Villa in Holte, nördlich von Kopenhagen. Und nicht nur in Dänemark, sondern auch in anderen skandinavischen Ländern wie z.B. Norwegen und Schweden plant und organisiert die Designerin ihre beliebten „Weihnachtsstuben".

English translation:christmas decoration workshop
Explanation:
It sounds like the term "weihnachtsstube" refers to activities undertaken before and around xmas - particularly in terms of creating decorations and baking and such. If that case, it is called "juleverksted" or "christmas decoration workshop".
