This year's trailer goes for a traditional Christmas feel taking inspiration from the classic children's story The Nutcracker. A young girl settles down to sleep as a festive snow globe twinkles at her bedside. As she sleeps, the snow globe comes to life with toy soldier and Late Late Toy Show host Ryan Tubridy joined by the girl and her friends opening presents and playing in the snow. All to the tune of The Shins version of the festive classic Wonderful Christmastime.

The trailer was created by the RT Marketing and Promotions team and features a 5-metre snow globe, miniature snow globes handmade by the production and a group of young actors and real life friends from the Empire Dance and Performing Arts Academy in Tallaght.

The promo will premiere on television tonight [Thursday, November 23rd] in between EastEnders and Fair City and will play in place of the ad break between the two shows.

The promo will air in rotation across RT television over the coming days as the excitement builds for this year's Late Late Toy Show on Friday, December 1st on RT One at 9.35pm.

Fans will also get an insight into how the programme is put together in a three-part documentary series, The Late Late Toy Show Unwrapped, starting on Wednesday, November 29th on RT One at 7pm.
