This holiday season, the family and I are looking forward to cozying up with some hot cocoa and watching holiday classics and some of our favourite family flicks. And luckily, YTV has an incredibly festive lineup of feature films and specials all throughout the month of December. Personally, I'm looking forward to watching The Muppet Christmas Carol, airing on December 22, Home Alone, airing on Christmas Day, and Wall-E, airing on December 28. To see the full lineup,  visit YTV.com or click on the thumbnail below:

A few weeks ago, our family was sent an incredible package full of TV holiday cheer, direct from The Kids Table's workshop. It was jam-packed with goodies including an Elf glass, festive popcorn from Toronto Popcorn Company and so many toys featuring lovable characters from YTV and Treehouse. It was such a heartwarming surprise, my daughter and I decided to head out to Toy Drive Live at CF Shops at Don Mills last week to donate some of these toys in support of the Toronto Fire Fighters' Toy Drive. The event was hosted by Global News and partners, and featured familiar faces such as Peppa Pig, Spongebob, Marshall, the hosts of YTV, Cheryl Hickey, and even Santa himself.

My favourite toys of the bunch were these Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles action figures. These collector toys, designed for kids age 12 and up, include newly designed accessories and come in their own sleek looking window box, perfect for display. Seeing these toys brought back the nostalgia of watching TMNT when I was a kid. Now I get to enjoy these heroes in a half-shell with my son on YTV, Fridays at 5:30pm!

There were also toys featuring characters from Treehouse's Sunny Day These dolls are super cute and come with fun mix-and-match accessories.

Also, I'm excited to share with you an exclusive preview of some brand new toys from Treehouse's Top Wing, an action-packed adventure preschool series featuring Top Wing cadets: Swift the blue jay, Penny the penguin, Rod the Rooster, and Brody the Puffin. These toys will be available in stores this February. And don't forget to tune into Treehouse on Sundays at 8:05am to catch all the action

This month, my goddaughter will be spending some time with a few of her favourite characters thanks to the NEW Treehouse Ultimate Collection Cube. Inside this boxed set is a collection of ten Treehouse favourites, each in its own DVD case. Included in the set are two DVDs each of the following shows: Toopy and Binoo, Max and Ruby, Octonauts and My Big, Big Friend. Also included are: one Franklin DVD and one The Berenstain Bears DVD. In total, she will be able to enjoy over 100 of the best Treehouse episodes over and over again! When I visited over the weekend to deliver this special gift, my goddaughter couldn't wait to open it. And when I started singing the theme songs for Max and Ruby and Toopy and Binoo, she looked at me like I was out of this world. In a "you're the coolest godmother ever" kind of way.

With Easter right around the corner, I also brought over another new Treehouse release. Zack & Quack have arrived in Canada for the first time on DVD in Zack & Quack: Popping Hopping Easter (available March 10). This adorable show by Kaboom! Entertainment follows Zack and Quack as they take a trip to the circus. During their fantastic adventures inside a pop-up book, they find a cure for Belly-Up's hiccups and help the Easter Bunny get her special chocolate chickens back to the coop just in time to save Easter. It all takes place in a world full of surprises, where pulling pop-ups makes exciting and unexpected things happen. This DVD includes five fun episodes and include: Zack & Quack Pop-Up Circus, Popping Hopping Hiccups, The Pop-Up Easter Egg Hunt, The Poparang 3000, and The Pop Up Easter Egg Hunt.

And remember Little Nutbrown Hare? He returns this year in the new release titled Guess How Much I Love You – The Adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare – Someone Special. Inspired by the best-selling books, this DVD follows the adventures of Little Nutbrown Hare and his father Big Nutbrown Hare through seven heartwarming episodes. Little Nutbrown Hare sets out on a hunt for treasure in a meadow, tries to touch the stars and learns to find his way home while spending time with someone special. It's the perfect reminder that there is no greater love than that shared between a parent and child. Episodes include: Moon Dance, Can You Touch The Stars, Field of Flowers, Treasure Hunt, Wind Whistle, Lucky Stick and Shadow Play.
