Travellin' Strawberries is a Norwegian group mostly known for their performance in a Norwegian Christmas series known as The Julekalender.

In 1993, they began performing an abridged version of the show on tour, and from then on, the group became known as Travellin' Strawberries. The band's success and talent was brought to the attention of entertainment industry executives, and they were hired to star in a Norwegian localization of the Danish Christmas series known as The Julekalender, which had become something of a national success in Denmark.
