Himlen i min famn

Chosen by Schlagerfiasko

Marie will be back in Melodifestivalen 2012 with Salt & Pepper - but first, she's celebrating Christmas, with a cover of Carola's Himlen i min famn. It's 'in the shops' later this month - keep an eye on Schlagerfiasko for more details. If you need to.

S-Connection feat AnaBelle

It May Be Winter Outside

"I love this one!" says Melodifestivalen 2012 star Mimi. S-Connection were a 90s Swedish pop-dance group who released two albums, with success in Denmark and Japan. And Mimi's bringing them back for Christmas! "Can I also have 'Christmas Song' by Bing Crosby?" No, Mimi. Not today.

Alcazar

Last Christmas

Chosen by Swedish Stereo

Dmitriy is bringing Christmas back with the marvellous Alcazar - and quite right, too. "My most beloved Christmas song currently is Alcazar's 'Last Christmas'," he says. "So I choose this one - it should fit your calendar well." He's right, it does. Thank you, Dmitriy. Oh, and hurry up and get better, George Michael. We all miss you.

Peter Jöback

Snön föll

Chosen by Ken Olausson

"My favourite Christmas song ever is Peter Jöback's 'Snön föll'," says Melodifestivalen jury member Ken. And thank goodness that it is, because we haven't had any solo men in this calendar yet. Peter is joining the cast of 'Phantom Of The Opera' in London in the new year, so this is a timely pick. Well done, Ken. (Oh, and that IS Sarah Dawn Finer - who will be popping up again this month…)

Lili & Susie

Bjällerklang

Chosen by Ronny Larsson

QX editor and schlagerkung Ronny would love to hear Lili & Susie doing 'Jingle Bells' in Swedish - as would we all, so here it is. The girls recorded this back in 1990, therefore it's a classic.

Malena Ernman

& Sarah Dawn Finer

Sancta Lucia (Strålande Helgonfé)

Chosen by Malena Ernman

A lovely exclusive for the ninth day - fabulous Malena Ernman has allowed Schlagerfiasko to stream her duet with Sarah Dawn Finer from their joint Christmas album, 'En riktigt god jul'. The album contains the pair's favourite songs from their albums, respectively 'Santa Lucia - en klassisk jul' and 'Winterland'. Strålande Helgonfé is a true classic, and, of course, this version is particularly wonderful.

Dig That Crazy Santa Claus

Chosen by Nanne Grönvall

Not schlager - not even Swedish - but oh so VERY Nanne. Dig!

Björn Again

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town

Chosen by Kris Boswell

Renowned Swedish radio personality Kris is in the festive mood with the Björns. Meanwhile, Frida was last seen with the carving knife, and Agnetha is wondering what she's done with it...

& Sonja Aldén

Vit som en snö

Chosen by Schlagerfiasko

I'm taking over the julkalender for another day because I need some Christmas sweetness right now. And here it is. Måns. Sonja. Bingolotto. All of it.

The Pogues

& Kirsty MacColl

Fairytale Of New York

Chosen by Hanne Sørvaag

From sweetness to the most bitter song about Christmas there ever was - but also one of the best. Hanne is currently mentoring on 'The Voice' in Norway, and says this is her favourite Yuletide song.

The Killers

with Elton John & Neil Tennant

Joseph, Better You Than Me

Chosen by Märta Grauers

Le Kid's Märta has selected one of the few Christmas songs about Joseph - with Brandon, Elt and Neil wondering how they'd have coped in his place. A very underrated song - listen to it now!

Babsan

Alla dessa jular

Chosen by The Unknown Blogger

The person who chose Babsan for the calendar wishes to remain anonymous, but I can't imagine why s/he would want to do so. This is a fabulous song with a touch of the Pet Shop Boys (yes, the Pet Shop Boys) about it...

Jussi Björling

O, helga natt

Chosen by Fredrik Kempe

Super Fredrik has chosen my favourite Christmas song performed by one of his musical heroes. The very definition of 'wonderful'!

Shirley Clamp

Do They Know It's Christmas?

Because I have nothing else to give...

Agnes & Måns

All I Want For Christmas Is You

Chosen by Schlagerfiasko

We've had Mariah doing this already, but this can NEVER be played too much. And, funnily enough, all I want for Christmas is Måns as well.

Sanna, Shirley & Sonja

Chosen by Schlagerfiasko

Not a Christmas song. Even if it is. Here's what it used to sound like: http://youtu.be/2ho6DSpRNq4

A stunning song to finish the Christmas countdown with - thank you to Jenny, who's harking back to her country roots. And thank you to you for following the 24 days of advent schlager!
