It's not just Christmas Eve, but also the night before Thanktival in the superbly entertaining world of Yonderland. In a twist that could well give children nightmares, the festive joy is threatened by a present-eating monster called Chompus. Can mum Debbie (Martha Howe-Douglas) come to the rescue? Perfect family viewing for a cosy Christmas Eve, with added monsters and enough subtlety to keep both parents as happy as their kids.
