LasseMajas detektivbyrå ("LasseMaja's Detective Agency") was the 2006 SVT Christmas calendar broadcast 1–24 December 2006 in Sveriges Television. The TV series, which was based on the book series LasseMajas detektivbyrå by Martin Widmark and Helena Willis, takes place in Lasse's and Maja's home town Valleby. It was recorded in Sveriges Television studios during the spring of 2006.
Lasse and Maja, played by Teodor Runsiö and Matilda Grahn, are 2 of the 3 main characters. They are two ~10 years old detectives who have known each other since they were small, and they have an own detective agency called LasseMajas detektivbyrå where they look at proofs etc. and they help the Policemaster of Valleby. Lasse first thinks and investigates problems carefully before he acts and is a little bit "coward". Maja is a little bit restless and acts directly.

The Policemaster (Polismästaren in Swedish) of Valleby, played by Tomas Norström, is the 3rd main character. He has worked as policemaster for about 23 years and has never worked with any crime. This Christmas he wants to direct and write a Christmas theatre play for remembering his parents, but many crimes are committed during the directing-time, but Lasse and Maja, who are his "assistants", help him.
Solskensorkestern (Sunshine Orchestra) is an orchestra, playing the music of the songs in Polismästaren's play. But they think Polismästaren is "stupid" and want to finish and move to Trelleborg and play there instead but they regret it. The members of the orchestra are:
Prästen (The Priest), played by Pia Johansson, lives alone in the church of Valleby. She really wants to participate in Polismästaren's Christmas play but he never has time to speak to her and in the 23rd program she kidnaps him. But he doesn't arrest her, instead he allows her to play Jesus in the play.
