A Christmas studio show for young children about a snowman who is fed up with the North Pole and heads off somewhere hot, with predictably melty results. Expect silly songs, lots of shouting out and the odd splash from a water pistol. Suits ages 3 and up, with several shows a day at 11am, 1pm and some 3pm slots through December.
