Jul i Svingen was one of NRK’s “advent calendar shows”, i.e. an episode a day from December 1st to December 24th. I think “advent calendar shows” are actually a phenomenon largely unique to TV in the Nordic countries, with limited success in Germany and the Netherlands as well.
In any case I never actually watched Jul i Svingen myself, but the song is generally very popular for Christmas playlists in Norway. So it’s sort of a cultural osmosis thing for me. The song blends folk music elements like the fiddle, with more Christmas-y sounds like jingle bells, with more modern elements, and all of these elements come together to create a very unique and cozy vibe I think.
