Thirty years after the Snowman first took to the skies, Channel 4 built him a sequel for Christmas Eve. A young boy and his mum move to a new house, and the boy builds a snowman who magically comes to life. And this time the snowman has a new friend: a snowdog. Made by Lupus Films to mark the anniversary, it comes with a new song, Light the Night, from Razorlight's Andy Burrows. It's the sort of thing you put on with a mug of cocoa while the rest of the house wraps presents.
