Once Upon a Pine is a series of Christmas Stories inspired by children, written and performed by Karen Tomkins.
Then, master storyteller Steve Lally gets magical and mystical with his Stories for Nollaig. His tales of wonder and intrigue are guaranteed to weave a seasonal spell over all the family.
And we’ve visited schools across Ireland to get the scoop on what makes Christmas tick. What would you do if you were a reindeer? Or Santa was your dad?
Plus, take a trip to the theatre from the comfort of your own home as RTÉjr presents our very own award-winning pantomimes, The Panto that Starts at the End and The Emperor’s New Duds. You’ll never think about Goldilocks the same way again…
If that’s not enough, we bring you some brand new episodes of Ireland’s Unreal from Hugh Cooney, story teller and inventor of the internet (allegedly). Tales of badgers and dogs, Trees and even Pigs on Wheels are sure to enliven Christmas day, and beyond!
