We are very excited to announce that this year’s Christmas film for BBC One will be… The Smeds and The Smoos! Have you read it yet?! ❤️💙

“Play with the Smeds and play with the Smoos.
Play with whichever friends you choose.
Then close your eyes and, while you snooze,
Dream of the Smeds and dream of the Smoos.”
