A Small Town at the Turn of the Century is set in a Swedish fishing village at the beginning of the 20th century, where siblings Sven and Britta wait for their father to return from sea in time for Christmas Eve. With their grandmother, they experience a December filled with traditions, adventures and encounters with the village's many characters – from the mayor to the lantern lighter.

Aboard the ship Juliana, the crew travels around the world to collect goods from different countries and bring them to Sweden in time for Christmas. During their journey, they encounter different cultures and experience adventures along the way as they gather the goods needed for Christmas.
