Further details
It's Christmas and DM and Penfold are tasked with protecting Santa from the villainous clutches of the festive season-destroying Snowman. The embarrassingly inept villain is fed up with being humiliatingly defeated by Danger Mouse and decides to get revenge by kidnapping Father Christmas.
This time DM and Penfold's attempts to thwart the Snowman end in disaster with the villain super-powered by Christmas spirit and Santa's hat. In a whirlwind of bah and humbug the Snowman sabotages the festive holiday and threatens to destroy the world by freezing the sun.
DM must lead an army of elves and a rejuvenated Santa to battle the Snowman and melt his evil plans.

Danger Mouse: The Snowman Cometh review
Brian Blessed and Richard Ayoade join the cast of Danger Mouse for its new Christmas Special, a festive classic in the making...
Pete Dillon-Trenchard, Den Of Geek, 17th December 2015Christmas is cancelled! The double-length special introduces a slightly against-type Brian Blessed as a subdued Santa, and a perfectly cast Richard Ayoade as rubbish villain The Snowman. This icy fiend has atrocious bad-guy patter ("Snow you won't!") and a dastardly plan to overcome his apparent vulnerability to mild heat. Can Danger Mouse and Penfold thaw Earth before Christmas morning? Stay alert for a Walking in the Air gag that's a killer, even if you're five and don't get the reference.
