BBC One, 8.00pm, Wednesday 18th December.
Snow Babies cunningly taps into the magic of Frozen Planet and the cute-fest that was 'Planet Earth Live', to bring us the ups and downs of life in the freezer. Featuring an adorable cast of plucky baby penguins, snow monkeys, polar bears, arctic foxes, caribou and otters, this heartwarming film is the wildlife TV equivalent of a Michael Bublé album. Forget the last minute Christmas cards, put away the wrapping paper, pour yourself a whisky, and relax - It's Christmas!
For those who like to open presents early I've posted a few clips below. Enjoy!

For all the monkeys I've had the pleasure of spending time with the snow monkeys of Japan are one of the most entertaining. One jumped on my back and seemed to enjoy the piggyback before diving off into the steamy springs that they are most famous for - so I'll be looking forward to seeing what mischievous antics they get up to in this film.

I have a soft spot for Arctic foxes since one joined me when I was photographing geese on an isolated arctic cliff top. He sat a few metres away curiously looking at me before running of with my cheese sandwich! Adorable.
