Season overview
Julkalendern is an annual Swedish Christmas‑calendar television series produced for the nation’s public broadcaster. The first season was filmed in a specially constructed studio that resembled an advent house, a setting that reinforces the series’ holiday theme. Within this set, each of the series’ daily hatches concealed either a guest appearance or a riddle, creating a recurring structure that combined drama, family‑oriented storytelling, and playful puzzles for children. The programme features Pierre Lindstedt in the role of Spöket Staffan, Oxen, and includes performances by Anna Bjelkerud. Across its run the series comprises 72 episodes, with the inaugural season establishing the format of a studio‑based advent house and the surprise element behind each hatch. As an example of Sweden’s long‑standing tradition of televised Christmas calendars, Julkalendern’s first season introduced audiences to a blend of mystery and festive entertainment that has become a recognizable part of the country’s holiday broadcasting schedule.
