In the video, the siblings were seen arriving at Slottskyrkan (Royal Chapel at the Stockholm Royal Palace) before Princess Estelle recited ‘När det lider mot Jul’ . Following this Prince Oscar lit the 4th advent candle and the siblings wished everyone a Happy Christmas. The video ended with the Livgardets Dragonmusikkår (Life Guards' Dragoon Music Corps) playing ‘När det lider mot Jul’.
När det lider mot Jul was written by Jeanna Oterdahl and music by Ruben Liljefors in 1909. The song, which is an extremely recognizable Christmas song in Sweden, tells of the light returning to the world and a reminder of how even in the darkness the light always returns. Every time you hear those first 4 notes, you know that Christmas is coming.
For this occasion, Princess Estelle wore a new dress from Bonpoint while Prince Oscar wore a jumper from the same brand.
