We begin with Julebakst (Christmas Baking) and go shopping with my Norwegian in-laws for food and decorations. Next, we take a walk around Oslo and visit the famous Christmas Market: Jul i Vinterland. In the third section, we try iconic Norwegian Christmas food such as Lutefisk (Lye Fish), Ribbe (Roast Pork Belly) and Akevitt (Potato Liquor).

In the fourth section, it's Christmas Eve - we dive into the Pagan rituals of Yule that evolved into Christmas and feast on Norwegian Christmas Food including Ribbe (Roast Pork Belly), Pinnekjott (Cured Lamb) and Turkey (Kalkun). In the final section we examine Romjul, New Year’s Eve and what Norwegians do for fun, including Football and Skiing in Norway. We end the documentary by going out to a bar and discussing drinking culture and watch the midnight fireworks in Drammen.
