What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Julkalendern is built around the Advent calendar format: short episodes released one per day across the Christmas season, each one a small, self-contained piece of a larger story. That structure gives the series its particular rhythm, parceling out fantasy and family storytelling in bite-sized increments that accumulate gently over the weeks leading to Christmas.

The fantasy and family combination here leans toward whimsy and wonder rather than consequences or conflict. Magic, when it appears, tends to feel cozy rather than threatening, and the storytelling keeps one eye on younger viewers without losing the other on the adults watching alongside them. It is holiday television designed to feel like a shared seasonal ritual.

Strongest Match

Adventure Time: Side Quests keeps the same daily, kid-friendly wonder as Julkalendern, with quick, self-contained adventures that feel like a new surprise each day. Brotherly banter and nonstop physical gags turn every stop into a cozy burst of action, lighter than the more gentle holiday fantasy pace.

Sicily Express

ComedyFamily

With Christmas around the corner, two blundering Sicilian friends working in Milan discover a dumpster that transports them to their families in seconds.

Why this pick

Sicily Express brings Julkalendern’s warm holiday comfort to the screen through homesick friends chasing a family reunion with big, silly energy. The jokes come from slapstick mishaps and a magical shortcut, so the tension stays light and laugh-forward, not heavy or scary.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Nickelodeon • Jul 1, 2026

AnimationAction

The world is divided into four elemental nations: The Northern and Southern Water Tribes, the Earth Kingdom, the Fire Nation, and the Air Nomads. The Avatar upholds the balance between the nations, but everything changed when the Fire Nation invaded. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, can stop them. But when the world needs him most, he vanishes. A hundred years later Katara and Sokka discover the new Avatar, an airbender named Aang. Together they must help Aang master the elements and save the world.

Why this pick

Avatar: The Last Airbender shares Julkalendern’s family-centered heart, with characters who lean on each other under pressure and keep moving through danger. Elemental battles and escalating adventures bring a bigger, more intense pace than the gentle Christmas calendar format, with humor that lands between tense moments.
