You might think this is just another revival of the classic show, but you'd be mistaken! Long ago, in 1971, Dalli Dalli first graced West German television as a beloved show, thanks to presenter Hans Rosenthal. The Kashubian phrase, "Dalli Dalli" means "Let's go now," and the original show was on air until 1986.
Several attempts to revive it in the past might have missed the mark, but the Mainz-based broadcaster, ZDF, didn't give up on Dalli Dalli. In fact, they commemorated its 50th anniversary with a special show in May 2021, which celebrated its enduring popularity. Now, Dalli Dalli is an annual Christmas tradition in Germany.
So, grab a cup of warm cocoa and settle in for an unforgettable night of Dalli Dalli: The Christmas Show. Don't miss this once-in-a-year celebration of laughter, fun, and holiday cheer on ZDF!
