Bluey: Verandah Santa

It’s a Bluey Christmas-themed episode next week as 2019 hit series as Dad and the kids take turns pretending to be Santa.

Australia’s favourite Blue Heeler family is back with Verandah Santa, a brand new Christmas themed episode to delight families during the festive season.

It’s Christmas Eve and Dad and the kids are taking turns pretending to be Santa. No peeking! But when Socks nips Bluey in excitement and Bluey refuses to leave Socks a present, they must all learn the true meaning of being good for Christmas.

Bluey follows the adventures of a lovable and inexhaustible six-year-old Blue Heeler pup, who lives with her Mum, Dad and four-year-old little sister, Bingo. In each episode, Bluey takes the everyday events of family life and uses her limitless Blue Heeler energy to invent elaborate games that unfold in unpredictable ways, bringing her family and the whole neighborhood into her world of fun.
