As Christmas lights are lit up across the UK, the personal appearances of licensed children’s characters at these large-scale, local switch-on events continues into the month of December.  The presence of licensed children’s characters is confirmed as part of the family entertainment line-up at events organised by radio stations, local councils and shopping centres.

Also continuing into December, Snoopy and Charlie Brown are set to visit more UK locations, as part of a campaign supporting the film’s upcoming release.
