Nickelodeon Central And Eastern Europe To Premiere 'Tiny Christmas' On Sunday 24th December 2017

Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) will premiere Tiny Christmas, a brand-new Nickelodeon Original Movie which puts a tiny spin on the year’s biggest holiday, on Sunday 24th December 2017 at 11:35 CET!

In Nickelodeon's brand-new holiday TV movie Tiny Christmas, it's Christmas Eve, and a clumsy elf accidentally shrinks down two cousins into miniature sizes! The kids are then scooped up into Santa's sack and dropped off across the street at their neighbor's house. In order to make it home for Christmas (just one house away!), the tiny kids must comically work together to navigate holiday hazards - including a giant cat - so that they can set themselves right and make Christmas magic happen! But, will the tiny kids get home on time?

Tiny Christmas stars Riele Downs from Henry Danger and Lizzy Greene from Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn. Matty Finochio will also star in the movie as Chill the Elf.

Based on a script written by screenwriting team Brian Sawyer & Gregg Rossen, Tiny Christmas was filmed in Canada, including in Langley in British Columbia, earlier this year, and is produced by Two 4 The Money Media. The movie is directed by Jon R. Rosenbaum, and executive produced by Michael McGahey (Vice President, Series at MarVista Entertainment). Nickelodeon acquired the script from Brian & Gregg in September 2015. Jordan Cassidy serves as the on-set Dresser for the film, and TINK serves as production designer on the Nickelodeon MOW.

Tiny Christmas will make its world debut on Nickelodeon USA on Saturday 2nd December 2017, and will then roll out on Nickelodeon channels and programming blocks globally.

Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe comprises Nickelodeon Malta, Nickelodeon Romania, Nickelodeon Hungary, Nickelodeon Czech Republic, Nickelodeon Croatia, Nickelodeon Ukraine, Nickelodeon Slovenia, Nickelodeon Serbia, and Nickelodeon Bulgaria.

Notes: Henry Danger is locally titled Veszélyes Henry in Hungary and Henry Pericol in Romania; Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn is locally titled Nicky, Ricky, Dicky és Dawn in Hungary.
