About Horrible Christmas

Christmas is under threat from the worst kind of villain: a jolly, bearded man dressed all in red! Only one boy can save the day, but he’s going to need a lot of help. Join him on an incredible adventure through the history of Christmas as he teams up with Charles Dickens, Oliver Cromwell, Henry VII and St Nicholas.

Horible Christmas is a unique, hilarious and joyful celebration of the festive season. Families can enjoy seeing devilish Victorians, medieval monks, partying Puritans and Tudor treats as they sail through years of gruesomely good stories from the olden days.
