Julkalender - Tidstjuven = Christmas Calendar - The Time Thief

Every December Swedish TV presents a 24-episode daily advert series running from 1-24 December.  

2025's series was called Tidstujven (The Time Thief), a time-travel adventure focussing on an 11-year old boy called Clint whose father mysteriously disappeared on Christmas Eve five years previously.  After discovering a mysterious “tidsskikare” (a device capable of time-travelling), Clint embarked on a journey across history to find his father whilst encountering unexpected characters along the way.

Björn appeared in a scene in the Christmas Eve (and final) episode walking into  salon.  A lady was on the phone and it was the actress who played Pippi Långstrump ((Pippi Longstocking) in the famous film - Inger Nilsson.  Björn appeared as himself in the series.  His presence was woven into Clint's time-travelling journey, aligning with the narrative's connection between real-world personalities and the unfolding adventure.  Västervik, Björn's home town also plays an important backdrop to the series.

Björn and Agnetha's daughter Linda Ulvaeus also had a role in episode 9 playing housemaid, Maria.
