An Advent calendar is a special calendar which is used to count or celebrate the days of Advent in anticipation of Christmas. Today, most advent calendars are made for children. In Europe you can find the cardboard ones in stores and usually see a them as a television show for children, starting on the first of December, and ending on Christmas Eve. Sofia Talvik’s Advent Calendar however, is not made for children but for music lovers. It is a star-studded web TV series where Sofia, together with a number of famous Swedish artists and musicians play music, bake Swedish Christmas treats such as saffron buns, write rhymes fo Christmas gifts and a does a whole bunch of other fun stuff. Some of the shows will be in Swedish, but there will be subtitles in English available. It will be aired December 1st – 24th on sofiatalvik.com.
