TO celebrate the most wonderful time of the year, First News is running an online advent calendar on First News Live! until Christmas Day.

We’ve got 25 festive treats wrapped up in the form of fun videos, celebrity shout-outs, Christmassy galleries (prepare for a parade of pups in Santa hats) and other surprises, ready and waiting for you! All you have to do is open the new “door” each day.

And behind DOOR NUMBER ONE…

Behind our very first door is a video shout-out from our good friend, Tom Fletcher. This fabulous author, musician and YouTuber has been a supporter of First News since we launched over eleven years ago and we absolutely ❤️ him for it.

Tom wanted to wish all First Newsers a very Merry Christmas and share a couple of Christmas stories with you!

You can open door number two tomorrow (Saturday 2 December) at 8am. See you then! 

More festive fun!
