Carina Bergfeldt named SVT Christmas host

Journalist and presenter Carina Bergfeldt has been selected by SVT to serve as the Christmas Eve host. Bergfeldt, who has worked with the broadcaster since 2016, expressed both excitement and nerves regarding the prestigious assignment.

SVT Program Director Eva Beckman stated that the choice was easy, noting Bergfeldt’s unique connection with the audience and her ability to create impactful television. The upcoming broadcast is expected to feature a heavy emphasis on music and storytelling, with Bergfeldt aiming to provide a sense of comfort and connection for viewers.

Bergfeldt succeeds Siw Malmkvist, who hosted the previous year. To fulfill her duties, Bergfeldt will spend Christmas Eve at the SVT studios in Stockholm rather than celebrating at home with her family.
