With the help of a rather unusual Advent calendar, Countdown to Christmas charts the progress of a contemporary family as they battle their way through to the big day. With nine bite-sized cameos, (ideal for individual classes) each with its own focus and theme song, this simple-to-stage show will not only have you smiling at the frantic pre-Christmas rush, but will also leave you with something special to remember long after Christmas is packed away. All the elements that make a great Christmas are here: Christmas dinner, decorations, shopping, stockings, nativity plays, carol singing - and even the festive hit single. Beautiful songs and a dazzling script ensure that this Christmas musical will be a big hit.
