The Snowman and The Snowdog press pack

Thirty years ago this Christmas, Channel 4 broadcast The Snowman - an enchanting animated film that follows the adventures of a young boy and a truly remarkable Snowman, adapted from author and creator Raymond Briggs' iconic children's book.

Now, the team behind the original film are delighted to introduce The Snowman and The Snowdog, a brand new sequel to the Oscar-nominated classic that will premiere on Channel 4 this Christmas.

The Snowman and The Snowdog will be at the heart of Channel 4's Christmas schedule - a testament to the enduring appeal of this all-time family favourite.  It will be full of charm, humour and warmth complete with a brand new soundtrack ‘Light The Night' which features in the flying sequence. The much-anticipated sequel promises to reunite viewers with The Snowman and introduce a new best friend, The Snowdog - complete with odd socks for ears and a satsuma for a nose.
