The show was set in a special Scandinavian Christmas lodge
UK - One of this year's festive television highlights was the ABBA Party which was aired on Christmas Eve and what a party it was!

Stars from across music and TV performed their favourite ABBA song and shared personal Abba memories. The show was set in a special Scandinavian Christmas lodge, as ITV helped celebrate 41 years since the release of the band's Greatest Hits album.

Chris Kempton designed the lighting with help from Richard Martin Lighting (RML). Chris's list included MAC Aura's, Alpha Wash 700's, Pointes, Pixelline 1044, Sharpys, VL1000TS, VL4000 Spots, B-EYE K20's, Nexus 4x4 panels, Robin 600 LEDWash.

Despite there been a lot of blue lighting used (think snow, ice, all things Scandinavian) there was still a real warmth to the look of the set. That was probably a combination of the trees, sparkles and presenter Paddy McGuinness

In an exclusive interview, Bjorn Ulvaeus also talked about his own ABBA memories while guests including Alexandra Burke, Scouting for Girls, Shayne Ward and Catherine Tyledsley, Susan Boyle and the cast of Mamma Mia!.
