Jul på Vesterbro

Jul på Vesterbro (literally Christmas on Vesterbro) is a 2003 Danish satire TV Christmas calendar (a TV-series broadcast every day from 1 December to 24 December) targeted adults by Anders Matthesen. It originally aired in December 2003 on DR2, and has since been rebroadcast in 2004, 2009, and 2013. The Christmas calendar is satire on the way Christmas is traditionally presented in TV, by instead presenting drug-addicts, gangsters and religious fanatics, and a social realistic parody on the underclass. It is based on a radio show by Matthesen of the same name, transmitted in 1999 on DR P3.

When DR 2 in December 2003 became the third most viewed TV-channel in Denmark, DR considered Jul på Vesterbro one of the factors. In 2004 it was named "innovation of the year" by the Danish Producers' Association. It is considered to have attained cult status.
