About

From the creative team behind The Ho Ho Ho! Christmas Show and The Ho Ho Ho! Mrs Christmas Show comes a brand new production for 2026 about friendship, resilience and embracing change. Expect magic, crazy characters and amazing puppetry in the world of a snow globe!

Meet the hero Jasper on a magical adventure into a winter wonderland!

It’s the Christmas holidays, Jasper is ready for bed, but Mum and Dad are going out tonight. He finds it hard to sleep by himself and the babysitter, Great Aunt Alice, is no help at all. Staring at his snow globe Jasper eventually dozes off as his radio plays… He awakes to discover that he’s turned into a snowman and arrived in a sparkling landscape.

Jasper has a great time exploring this snowy world, however it’s not long before he must solve a mystery and team up with new arctic friends.
