Christopher the Christmas Tree
18 December at 07:00

All-new to KidsCo this Christmas is the heart-warming tale of Christopher the Christmas Tree. In Hidden Hollow, where the tallest and most beautiful Christmas trees grow, shaggy little Christopher the Christmas tree is passed over year after year – until he is the only tree left! Now grown up and tall enough to provide shelter to many of his woodland friends, including Whooty the owl, Christopher proves to viewers young and old that dreams can still come true, especially at Christmas time.

Nilus the Sandman: The Boy Who Dreamed Christmas
18 December at 19:00 and 25 December at 07:00

This Christmas, KidsCo offers you the chance to follow Nilus the Sandman and eight-year-old Peter on an enchanting dream-world adventure to the North Pole. In this magical movie premiere, Peter must combine his knowledge of computers with Nilus’ wisdom in order to save Santa and his elves from the nefarious Toymaster’s mechanical genius. Did you know that singer Elton John changed his last name in honour of blues singer and actor Long John Baldry, who provides the voice for Nilus in the movie?

Christmas Eve – 24 December

As children around the world are getting ready for the big day, KidsCo is treating families to a whole afternoon of enthralling Christmas movies starting with Inspector Gadget’s Biggest Caper Ever at 12:00.
