It's become a tradition on the penultimate day of the Advent Calendar to share with you how the Swedish Royal Family is getting on. Since 2012, when Crown Princess Estelle was born, there has been an annual video showing Estelle, her parents Victoria (who will be Queen one day soon) and Daniel, and lately her little brother Oscar, doing some Swedish Christmas crafts.

Here's this year's candlemaking, at an old house in the Skansen in Stockholm, with a flashback to 1980 when Victoria did the same thing with her parents.

Hard to believe it's 11 years since you first saw Estelle on the Advent Calender. Here once again is her first ever Christmas video!

And for four more years of classic Estelle and Oscar action, revisit our 2017 page:

Advent Calendar 2025

1st December 2025

Hello! We've sort of lost count, but think the first Advent Calendar was back in 2003, the Internet Archive Wayback Machine says it looked like this: Of course all the links are dead, but the thing it has in common with this year's is that it is still coded in HTML, probably the last thing I will ever rely on coding for. Now it looks like this: Happy Advent! We have gone for the Bonne Maman JAM Calendar again this year, after leaving it too late last year and it selling out at both Fenwick and Selfridges! We get a fresh pot of jam every day to enjoy with our tartines and Ovomaltines. We also have the Domino's "Merry Crustmas" leaflet, and a MUJI calendar we'll show you later in the month. Do let us know what you are opening every day! You can leave a message below, or email us your ideas and suggestions for future days at robotmaths@outlook.com Have a great day!
