* UsedToBeMoreSocial: While it was implied in the first series, this series confirms that Ruth was indeed more social in the past, having been quite popular in her youth according to her old friend Tore.

''Snøfall'' is a Norwegian JuleKalender that was first shown on NRK Super in 2016.

Selma is a 9-year old girl whose parents died in an accident a few years ago, and longs for a family of her own. She and her dog, Casper, have been living with a strict woman named Ruth while waiting for someone to adopt them. When Selma decides to write a letter to Santa to wish for a family, her letter reaches the magical land of Snøfall and Selma soon ends up travelling there herself.

In Summer 2021 NRK announced that they were looking for actors for a second season, which began production in 2022. ''Snøfall 2'' first aired in 2023.

In the second series, we are introduced to 10-year old Noah, who has a wish he really needs granted. After meeting the now 16-year old Selma, Noah discovers the existence of Snøfall. However, when it seems the letters aren't making it to Snøfall, how will he manage to get his wish to Santa on time?

* ButNowIMustGo: After Ruth sends Selma a letter to tell her how much she cares about her, Selma has to decide whether to stay in Snøfall with Julius, or go back home. She ultimately decides to go back home to Ruth.
* CallingParentsByTheirName: Håkon always calls his father by his first name, Kjell. Selma finds it a bit odd, but Kjell himself doesn't seem to mind. [[spoiler: One of the final episodes has Håkon calling Kjell "dad", which weirds Kjell out a bit since he's so used to Håkon calling him by name at that point. They both immediately decide to just stick to Håkon calling him by name.]]
* CassandraTruth: Pil's younger sister Lilli spots Selma through a window after she makes it to Snøfall, but since it's nighttime, her father and siblings don't pay attention and tell her to go to bed. When she tries to tell the others about the girl she saw, no one believes her until they actually meet Selma.
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of the series, Ruth gradually starts to be more honest with herself and show her true feelings as she deals with her feelings over Selma leaving, discovering the existence of Snøfall and gradually growing to enjoy working at the bookstore.

* DidntThinkThisThrough: Selma, Pil and Frida try to expose Winter's lies by bringing Julius' sled to the marketplace with the help of Stål, Frida's father. Winter manages to threaten Stål into helping cover up the truth about the sled by threatening to harm his wife and Frida if he doesn't co-operate, and discredits Selma even further.

* EngineeredPublicConfession: Some of the other kids help expose Winter with one of these while Selma, Pil and Frida go to bring Julius back to Snøfall.

** Winter also writes several letters to himself to conceal the fact that children's letters to Santa aren't reaching him. While Stål does at one point accidentally see the contents of one such letter, these letters are mainly to maintain the appearance and not for anyone but Winter to read, which is probably a good thing since Winter clearly has no idea how children think:

* InnocentlyInsensitive: Episode 23 has Håkon musing that Selma must be lucky to have the chance to spend Christmas with Santa Claus himself, in front of Ruth who is hoping that Selma will come back and spend Christmas with her.
* IsThisThingStillOn: The first time Winter attempts to use the radio that Julius uses to broadcast messages to Snøfall he has some difficulties:

* LastNameBasis: Most of the people in Snøfall refer to Ole Winter by his last name, with the exception of Julius occasionally calling him by his first name.
* MoreThanMindControl: Winter was already frustrated with how things are run in Snøfall and wishing for more respect, the Darkness corrupting him merely strengthens these feelings to the point where he abducts Julius and hides him away in the Darkness, and starts running things in his own way with an iron fist.

* ParentalSubstitute: Hjerterud ends up taking on this role for Selma while she's in Snøfall, looking after her after Julius goes missing.

** Ruth is informed that a suitable foster family has finally been found for Selma, but since the paperwork neglected to mention Casper, the new family won't take him too. Ruth can't bring herself to tell Selma right away. When Ruth the day after lets it slip that Selma won't be able to keep Casper while expressing her frustration at him pooping on the floor because Selma didn't take him outside in time, Selma assumes Ruth is planning to get rid of Casper, and Ruth fails to explain the situation after Selma's outburst. This leads to Selma taking Casper and running off to the bookstore, where a portal appears to transport Selma to Snøfall.
* ThePrankster: Out of the kids in Snøfall, Aslak and Ishaan seem to be the biggest pranksters of the bunch.

* RevealingCoverup: Winter's repeated attempts to keep his control over Snøfall just keeps piling up new reasons for Selma and her friends to suspect that something is up, until they know for sure that Winter is lying to everyone.

* TheRival: Pil and Frida initially don't get along due to their different personalities and interests, and after Selma arrives, they form a rivalry over which of them is Selma's new best friend in Snøfall. They eventually put their differences aside and work together with Selma to try to find out what happened to Julius.

* TheUnreveal: One of the things Håkon wants to know about Santa is how he manages to visit everyone around the world in only one day. The final scene has Julius visit Håkon, and whisper the explanation to him. The viewers don't get to hear it.
