Yes, it is a Swedish custom to watch Donald Duck at Christmas. Only, the Swedish word for "duck" in anke, so for alliterative purposes, "Donald" is replaced with Kalle, and thus he is known as Kalle Anke (lit., "Charlie Duck").

And in Denmark, Donald is called Anders And using the Danish word for duck. Oddly enough, in Norway, Donald Duck is called , erm, Donald Duck.

However, not too many have accused us Norwegians of being the brightest bulb in Scandinavia.

Cheers.
