While hustling home for the families Jolly Holly Day Fest, Miss Spider, Squirt and Bounce get caught up in a winter storm.

Gaspard and Lisa – Our Best Christmas Ever (at 7.05am, encore at 1.05pm): Gaspard and Lisa learn about the true spirit of Christmas when they both ask Santa for the same snow globe – but there is only one in the world.

Angelina Ballerina – The Show Must Go On (at 8.35am, encore at 2.35pm): Angelina is auditioning for the lead role in the musical extravaganza, Cinderella Mouse and the Ugly Whiskers.

Guess with Jess – How Can we Decorate the Christmas Tree? (at 11.20am, encore at 5.20pm): It’s Christmas Eve on Greendale Farm. Jess is very very excited. Every year, Mimi decorates the special tree in the woods and the friends all gather around to sing, play and open presents. But when Jess, Mimi and Willow arrive to leave the presents at the tree, they’re shocked to see the wind has blown all the decorations away. How dreadful! How will they celebrate Christmas with no decorations? And Mimi can’t help as she and Willow have promised to deliver presents outside the farm. Jess promises to work it out.
