This is mainly due to all the stress before the holidays, the darkness and cold outdoors, and the involuntary loneliness of many. From December 1st to December 24 there is a Christmas calendar which shows all kind of Christmas-related shows and cartoons.
This tradition includes watching Donald Duck at 15:00 during Christmas Eve. This originated from that it was the only time people could watch cartoons and eventually this became a tradition throughout the entire country, and hence Donald Duck became a big figure of the country during the Christmas holidays!
So! Uh oh! Remember to learn as many quotes from Donald Duck on your next visit to Sweden! OH BOY!
