Jeden Heiligabend schauen wir in Schweden um 15.00 Uhr Donald Duck. Eine Stunde alter Disney-Cartoons, praktisch jeder Haushalt sieht sie im Staatsfernsehen, obwohl die Zuschauerzahlen in den letzten Jahren zurückgegangen sind.

  1. No one in my family has enjoyed it for the last decade, but we still have it on, usually sing the songs, and quote half the thing verbatim, while sighing during the other half. The last few years though, we’ve had it on Mute so we can talk and snack on bonbons, coffee and licqueur unimpeded.

    Then what’s the point? Well it’s been running since the 1960’s, and it’s just become such a natural time slot between Christmas lunch (the main course of the day) and Santa’s visit typically within an hour after Kalle is finished.

  2. There’s no such national tradition in The Netherlands, not that I’m aware of anyway.
    On another note: what’s in front of the screen? Candle holders?

  3. PulciNeller on

    in Italy it’s Home Alone and Trading Places. Anyway. I think the swedish TV is pretty cool because they broadcast 5 hours of Fanny&Alexander every year If I’m not mistaken.

    Saw this at that exact scene but i live in Denmark so a hour later

  5. TV viewership as a whole has dropped, but Donald Duck is fairly steady.

    It’s the most viewed show every year, and upped its own viewership record in 2020.

  6. ThePreciseClimber on

    Actually, that’s Lady and the Tramp with incorrect aspect ratio, not Donald Duck. 😛

    I’m sorry, but Cyanide&Happiness has ruined that scene of Lady&Tramp for me

  8. It’s always funny when the bizarre things our Swedish teacher tells us about Swedish traditions are corroborated by posts like this.

    Nice TV, is that an Oled? So vibrant colours and small bezels

    Step up your game Swedes. I’ve been told the Japanese like to watch Downtown no Gaki no Tsukai ya Arahende!! (Gaki No Tsukai)

    In Finland it’s The Snowman (1982) before the declaration of Christmas Peace.

  12. Same in Norway. It’s basically free advertising for Disney, as they put a 5 min clip of their latest film at the end and cover it up as a “Christmas card” like the rest… This year they showed a scene from Moana 2

    I don’t watch cartoons, but I do have those exact same four pictures.

  14. Every year on Christmas in Germany we watch Aschenbrödel (every channel airs it at some point over the holidays) and Weihnachten bei den Hoppenstedts. As well as the other classics of Home Alone 1+2 (Kevin allein [zu Haus / in New York]).

    And on new year’s Eve we watch dinner for one and Der Silvesterpunsch (Ein Herz und eine Seele)

    Her i Danmark er det klokken 16:00. Elsker tegnefilmen med Anders And og Rip, Rap og Rip i sneboldkamp. Har set det siden barndommen og ser det stadig her 30 år efter. Fantastisk.

    In Italy is “Trading Places” also known as: “Una Poltrona per Due”.

  17. I think it’s wonderful that in Denmark they’ve kept the OGs voice overs ,- Ove Sprogø, Poul Bundgaard, Dario Campeotto .. in my family it’s a 4pm Christmas tradition with champagne

    There is a full 24 hours of the Christmas story on repeat in US
