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 EIGHTEEN…

It’s a VERY warm snowman!

Our friends at the Climate Coalition got in touch with us about a short film they’ve produced starring a very warm snowman called Sammy.

In the short animation, Sammy the Snowman starts noticing many new friends this winter—but he knows they’re not supposed to be awake until spring! Climate change is knocking our seasons off kilter, and with it so many of the things we love.

We’ve been noticing the change this holiday season – have you? Watch the film and comment below to share your views.
