What’s further confusing is that this is broadcast on state owned TV which is required to be ad-free. Yet, this section is riddled with ads for upcoming Disney movies.

In Poland, we have a "bizarre TV tradition" of watching Home Alone during Christmas on one of the main TV stations (Polsat). Usually Home Alone 2 is played the next day.

One year the station wanted to play a different movie during the holiday season and people wrote petition to bring it back.

That's funny. Sometimes we're quite irrational. We're still primates in some aspects (I mean no offense to Swedish, we all have strange traditions in our countries)

We have the same tradition in Norway, probably stole it from our neighbours.

I'm Norwegian too, and remember watching it on a Swedish broadcasting channel when I was a kid. We had two channels, the Norwegian state funded broadcasting channel, and the Swedish state funded broadcasting channel. Good times!

It's not only Donald Duck, it's a random collection on Disney clips. The only "bizarre" thing about it, is that every year seconds are cut away as the removed clips are no longer considered politically correct.
