Bamses Julerejse

Married couple Berit and Flemming are naturally going to spend Christmas together, but is there anything to celebrate? And how will it all unfold? Will they bake? Or will they preserve everything? Are there elves in the attic? And what about the children? What is wrong with Berit? And will Flemming be able to open the lid of the blender quickly enough? There are lots of big and small questions that need answers—and we'll definitely get some of them before Christmas. That is, if it ends up being Christmas!

The last time we met Tinka, she introduced the Collection, where representatives from the four regions of the Kingdom of the Gnomes and a single person together ruled and decided. However, the new form of government does not work as Tinka had hoped, and she has therefore begun to doubt her abilities as the leader of the elves. When Ingi puts Tinka on the trail of a family secret, she and Lasse search for answers in the human world, and here Tinka awaits a surprise that puts the entire existence of the Kingdom of the Elves at risk.

Selma, a 9 year old girl who lost her parents in an accident, is now living with Ruth, a quite strict neighbour who was just supposed to temporarily look after Selma and her dog Casper.

The Julekalender was a Danish TV series that ran at Christmas 1991. It was written and performed almost entirely by a trio of Danish comedy musicians called De Nattergale with financial and technical assistance from TV2, a Danish television company. It was hugely successful at the time, causing many invented phrases from the series to enter popular culture and was later released on VHS, and recently, DVD. It had 24 episodes, as has been typical of other TV "calendars" before and since The Julekalender.
