When is The Snowman on over Christmas and how to watch it

As Christmas rolls around, it’s finally time for the annual tradition of planting yourself firmly in front of the TV to enjoy some classic Christmas films. There is no better film to get you well and truly in the festive spirit than the The Snowman.

The 1982 animated film follows a young boy who, on Christmas Eve, builds a snowman that comes to life. Together, the two friends take an airborne trip to the North Pole to meet Father Christmas. Christmas just wouldn’t be Christmas without this yuletide classic. At just 26 minutes long, the short film – based on the late Raymond Briggs’ 1978 book of the same name – has become synonymous with Christmas.It was even nominated for an Oscar for Best Animated Short Film in 1983. It has become world-renowned for the iconic and angelic song Walking in the Air, performed by 13-year-old choirboy Peter Auty – not Aled Jones as is commonly believed.
