I discovered that Swedish Christmas traditions are not so far from Italian ones: we also have advent calendar (I always choose one with chocolates!), Lucia (in some parts of the country), a flower called "Christmas star" and something about burning an object in the squares. And also the celebration of JULAFTON and ANNANDAGJUL! The big difference is that we eat particular food during this period, not the same of Easter or summer! Thanks for these interesting videos and of course... GOD JUL!!!

Lucia is totally stolen (and re adapted) from Italian culture. So for sure there is a lot of 😬similarities. Thank you for your positive comment! 😍

Here in Canada our family of Swedish descent always had Angel Chimes and Tompte as decorations as well as Swedish chocolates sent by my Gr Aunt in Sweden.

Hej hej! Thanks for the video! Believe me, it took me some time to notice your "earrings"! Perfect context! 😄

[@FunSwedish]

😁 I was wondering if someone was going to notice that detail

[@Nubbe999]

I think the Gävlebocken even was run over with a car one year. But normaly its just gets burn down, not every year but often.

[@BlueAghost]

one time there was a threat to take it with a helicopter to stockholm, didnt happen but a funny thing still

[@rebecabordini]

I wish we had something like Julkalendern for CNY or maybe Koliada🤷‍♀️ Too bad we don't- it'd have made said festivals more enjoyable (than they already are, ofc :D") 6:09 But you're not ugly though🥺 Wtf were people thinking making you wear that gingerbread man suit😭

[@FunSwedish]

😍😍😍

Is Julmust similar to the Spanish "mosto" perhaps? 🧐 "Mosto" is, in short, the juice of the grapes before it starts its fermantation and becomes wine. In Spain mosto is easy to find in bars all year around

[@FunSwedish]

Not 100 % sure it is the same. Julmust is without alcohol. But Mosto sounds really delicious!

[@portclaire]

@@FunSwedish yes, mosto is alcohol free

[@FunSwedish]

[@davidbandini3484]

Tack så mycket för videon det är intressant! Grazie tante per il video! In Italy we have Lucia, “usually you recive or give sweets and little gift” ,Julstärna and Julbocken too. But Julbocken is celebrated on 6 January “Befana”- “witch” There are some little differences with the celebrations from North and South Italy but very little

[@FunSwedish]

Interesting! Lucia for sure comes from Italy :)

[@KarlaLopez-ec7dr]

Awesome explanation. Tack så mycket!

8:01 the only julmust I've ever tried is the Ikea rebranded one, which I hear isn't the best. To me it tastes kind of like grape soda with added hops.

[@FunSwedish]

I guess you have to try the "real" one then 😁

[@Nubbe999]

Coca-Cola are the no1 of soft drinks sales except during Chrismas when the sales of Julmust skyrockets in sweden. Coca-Cola spends a lot of money in sweden on commercials during chrismas trying to change our behavior but i guess we like our traditions

[@UpcomingJedi]

en per dag? Jag måste ha en påse choklad

I asked my family what was Julmust. But they answered me in a bad tone :” it is julmust I keep asking they just keep saying ITS JULMUST. I said I taste to me like cola but with more sugar 😉!
