Putti Plutti Pott and Santa's Beard (original Norwegian title: Putti Plutti Pott og Julenissens Skjegg) is a Norwegian children's musical written by Per Asplin. It has become a Norwegian cultural institution.^{[citation needed]} It originally appeared as a Christmas album in 1969, but in 1970 NRK, the Norwegian national television station, televised a staged version starring Asplin. This version was broadcast every year for decades. In 1987 Asplin again starred in a traveling big-budget stage production. This continued until his death in 1996. There are now annual productions in many Norwegian cities throughout the holiday season.^{[citation needed]}
