Summary

A star-studded cast of CBeebies presenters and familiar faces including Rhys Stephenson, Maddie Moate, Justin Fletcher, George Webster and Dodge T Dog, stage this magical festive pantomime especially adapted for CBeebies by writer Isabel Fay. It takes place in enchanting Scottish landscapes with music courtesy of composers Banks & Wag. This Christmas special has a toe-tapping pop soundtrack that will have everyone singing, moving and grooving along. Festive fun for all the family! The story begins when the mean Thorn Fairy casts a spell and steals handsome Beau’s good looks for herself and turns him into a Beast who hides away amongst the Christmas roses in Briar Castle Garden. When Bella goes looking for a Christmas rose to give to her Pops, the mean Thorn Fairy casts another thorny spell and Bella gets stuck with the Beast. The people of Hollyville rally together to try to rescue Bella from the Beast, but to their surprise, Bella doesn’t want to be rescued! Will Bella and Beastly Beau’s friendship bloom? Or will the Thorn Fairy’s magic last forever? Along the way, we meet mischievous wolves, funny garden gnomes and a real-life Gladiator.
