Nu tändas tusen juleljus was released in Sweden at the end of 1981.
However, Ulvaeus wanted to be an actress. After her musical debut with Nu tändas tusen juleljus, she made her acting debut in the 1998 film Under solen as Lena. Ulvaeus then appeared on the television series Labyrinten in 2000; in 2001 she appeared on Blå måndag, released directly to the video. She has also developed her career as a stage actress.
Ulvaeus appeared as a backing vocalist on her mother's 2004 comeback single, "When You Walk in the Room". In 2006, Ulvaeus returned to the big screen in the role of Sofia in the 2006 film Meningen med alltihopa. She appeared in the television series Playa del Sol in 2007.
