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

Imagine waking up one morning in your ordinary bed, in your ordinary house, and greeting your normal parents before heading out on a normal day and then bumping into a fairy who will forever change your life. You discover you are no longer that ordinary girl from the city of Gardenia who leads a perfectly normal life but rather Princess Bloom, one of the strongest fairies in the magical world and the last survivor of planet Domino. Soon you find yourself packing your bags and moving away to Alfea College, the finest fairy school in all the realms, where you will make new friends and form the Winx Club.

Winx Club is Nickelodeon's first girl-targeted animated t.v. show, a modern fantasy adventure series starring fairies who rely on their strength, smarts, teamwork, and magical powers to fight villains and protect the world from evil. The six fashion savvy fairies, Bloom, Stella, Flora, Musa, Tecna and Aisha, each have their own unique power that helps define their own individuality and defeat villains as well. The Winx characters were created to represent today’s modern girl, heroines that girls can relate to. With the aim of providing positive messaging, the show empowers girls to embrace self-expression, friendship, adventure, magic and fashion.
