Write a short summary of what happens in the film

The film follows a family year after year as they celebrate Christmas. The father has bought some ugly Christmas sweaters and every year he brings them out for his family to wear. As time goes by the children grow up, and so does their resistance against the sweaters. In the end, when the father is gone, they finally realize that the sweaters are actually the one thing they associate with Christmas. And so the tradition lives on.

Nidar Julemarsipan (Christmas Marzipan) is strongly rooted as part of the Norwegian Christmas traditions. The Christmas season doesn't really start until the marzipan is in store. However, in recent years the sale of marzipan has gone down, due to consumers choosing a more modern twist on Christmas snacks. So, in order to remind Norwegians of the value of traditions, such as the Christmas marzipan, Nidar wanted to create a campaign full of Norwegian Christmas spirit.
