series relates the adventures of the Nutbrown Hares and their friends with the
same endearing charm and love that has made the book a timeless story time
favourite. The holiday special episode follows the huge success of the classic
preschool series, which has been broadcast in over 180 countries.
On a
bright and sparkling Christmas Eve, Little Nutbrown Hare and his friends Little
Field Mouse, Little Redwood Fox and Little Grey Squirrel are frolicking happily
in the snow-covered meadow when they stumble across a baby brown bear who is
lost and sad. Determined to return their little friend home to his family in
time for Christmas, the young heroes venture bravely through the woods and
across the valley into the unknown.
This epic
adventure will touch the hearts of young and old alike, as our friends let
nothing stand in the way of reuniting Little Brown Bear with his family, before
making their own way home. Throughout this delightful journey we are reminded
that the greatest gift of Christmas is being with the ones you love.
