The students present the royal family with a selection of Christmas trees from which they can then choose to display in the Royal Palace in Stockholm. SLU has been donating Christmas trees to households since the late 1960s.
The Swedish royal family will release a Christmas message a few days before the big day in which they reflect on the past and coming year.
On December 23, the family will celebrate the birthday of Queen Silvia, who turns 80 this year.
Last month, Crown Princess Victoria, heir to the Swedish throne, and her husband Prince Daniel visited Britain to attend the Royal Variety Performance with the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The show – which aired last night on ITV – had a star-studded line-up, including appearances from Cher, Hannah Waddingham and Beverly Knight.
