Which of these festive treats was first invented in Sweden?

 

When is Swedish Christmas officially over?

 

'Dopparedan' is an alternative name given to which festive day?

 

Watching Disney's Kalle Anka (Donald Duck) Christmas special is a must-do on Christmas Eve in Sweden. But what time is it shown on TV?
