Experience the success show at Scandinavium this christmas
After sold-out performances and praise from both audiences and critics, the stage success Tomten är far till alla barnen returns for Christmas 2026. From December 18–20, the tour concludes with grand finale performances at Scandinavium in Gothenburg.
When the beloved 1999 cult film was brought to the stage in 2024, a new Swedish Christmas tradition was born. The audience follows the legendary Christmas Eve where Sara invites her three ex-husbands and their new families to celebrate together with her reluctant partner Janne. What begins as a festive gathering quickly spirals into explosive and comedic chaos.
With a fast pace, physical comedy, musical elements, and a star-studded cast, the show has become a major audience success. On stage you’ll see, among others, Liv Mjönes, Linus Wahlgren, Eva Röse, Jakob Setterberg, Fredrik Hallgren, Clara Henry, Magnus Betnér, Julia Dufvenius, Inez Dahl Torhaug, and Anton Lundqvist.
No one celebrates Christmas like the family in Tomten är far till alla barnen.
See you at Scandinavium!
