Jul i Skomakergata is a Norwegian TV-show produced in 1979. It is a televised advent calendar, meaning it is sent from December 1st to December 24th. It has been broadcasted several times in Norway by NRK and is one of the most treasured tv-programs in Norwegian TV history. The story revolves around shoe repairer Jens Petrus Andersen, played by Henki Kolstad, and and his shop. He is visited by friends and towns people that need their shoes repaired before christmas. A part of the show consists of showing a clip from Sandmännchen (Jon Blund in Norwegian) which tells children about the United Nations' Convention on the Rights of the Child.

In 2006, the Norwegian commedian Zahid Ali created an advent calendar show called Jul i Tøyengata, a parody of Jul i Skomakergata which shows a multicultural street in Oslo which deals with problems such as racism and cultural crashes.
