Reven og Nissen was first broadcast in Norway on December 23, 2019, on the television channel NRK Super.

The CGI animations from the film are based on the illustrations by Eva Eriksson of the book The Tomten and the Fox.

[9] Berg processed the poem by Karl-Erik Forsslund, on which the book by Astrid Lindgren is based, into a song.

[10] The title Räven Och Tomten is sung by Peter Jöback and Moonica Mac.

The background music was composed by the Norwegian jazz musician Gaute Storaas based on the melody by Joakim Berg.

[13] Tomte also whistles the Norwegian Christmas song På låven sitter nissen as he gets the plate of porridge for himself and Mickel.
