The mood is good.
خلفية ثقافية
The 'Vrijmibo' (Vrijdagmiddagborrel) is the prime time for this phrase. It’s the transition from work-mode to weekend-mode. Flemish people use this phrase too, but might more often use 'ambiance' instead of 'sfeer'. During 'Oranjekoorts' (Orange Fever), this phrase is used to describe the collective hope and joy of the fans. In student 'corps' (fraternities), 'sfeer' is almost a sacred concept that must be protected and promoted.
Use 'Lekker'
Add 'lekker' (De sfeer zit er lekker in) to sound 100% more like a native speaker.
Don't forget 'ER'
Without 'er', the sentence is grammatically broken. It's the most common mistake.
