Klaus

Release date: Friday November 15 2019

When Jesper establishes himself as the postal academy’s worst student, he gets stationed on a frozen island above the Arctic Circle, where the feuding locals hardly exchange words, let alone letters.

He manages to convince Klaus to donate his old toys, which he will deliver for free to the children on the island. The toys excite the children of the island who in turn start to write letters to Mr. Klaus, making requests for new toys. Not everyone is all that thrilled with the concept though, as the dwellers of Smeerensburg, dubbed ‘the unhappiest place on earth’ are adamant on believing that Klaus and Jesper are out to brainwash their dark town. But Klaus strongly believes he can beat the odds and return the laughter back to Smeerensburg with Jesper’s help.

Around the same time he loses his job, his children share with them their unfortunately pricy Christmas list.

Nailed It – Holiday Edition


Still from Season 1

Release date: Friday November 22 2019

The Nailed It – Holiday Edition is back for a second season. If you’re a fan of the show, it follows the same concept. Three home bakers compete against each other to win $10,000 and a ‘Nailed it’ trophy but things get a bit more of a festive touch in the Holiday Edition. Think cake pop nativity scenes, a cake which depicts Santa Claus going down a chimney and much more. Watch it for laughs, a few baking tips (from renowned pastry chef Jacques Torres, not the contestants), or to make yourself feel better about your baking skills.

Merry Happy Whatever

Release date: Thursday November 28 2019

Sugar Rush Christmas

You can bet that this Christmas edition will have a holly jolly holiday twist to it. Fair warning: you will crave cake when you watch this show.
