Tomtemaskinen

Old Petterson lives on the edge of a small village somewhere in Sweden. Together with his cat Findus and his ten white hens he always experiences wonderfully funny and exciting adventures. The stories are about friendship, travel and the crazy and loving everyday life of Pettersson and Findus.

This Christmas Calendar is based on stories written by children and teenagers between the ages of 8 and 17. Each episode features several of these stories presented in dramatized form. Here, fairy tales blend with reality, with adventures taking place in places such as the space age, the world of dreams, and the realm of fairy tales. We meet elves and trolls, princesses and knights, and much more! The program was broadcast live, with host Staffan Ling welcoming various guests in the studio. The filmed stories were interspersed with competitions, Christmas tips, and music.

Pettson and Findus are fishing down by the lake when suddenly a snowstorm rises and it starts to get dark. Lost in the bad weather they are forced to seek shelter in an igloo they build out of blocks of frozen fishes. Inside they tell stories from the past year to keep their spirits up.

A swimming machine turns up that has been doctored and modified into a tile thrower, but the machine malfunctions and causes an accident that imparts Pettson with amnesia.

Mamma Moo is a typical cow, besides that she wants to do so many uncowly things. Her idea of fun is biking and dancing, and when she meets Crow her happiness is complete - the fun is so much bigger when you have a friend. There's a catch; Crow does not want to be friends with a cow, especially not such a peculiar one.
