Peppa Pig Releases Festive Album and Christmas Music Video

Peppa Pig's Christmas music is now out. The album Peppa Pig: Festive Fun – The Album! hit streaming services on Friday, 13 November, and the children's animated series has released a music video for one of its four new songs.

The video, premiered as reported by Billboard, is for "What We Love About Christmas". It follows baby Evie through her first Christmas. The other new songs on the album are "He's Been," "Snow" and "When I Think About Christmas."

The festive story also moves to cinemas. From Saturday, 14 November, a screening called Festive Fun With Peppa will play in select cinemas through Hasbro, the toy and entertainment company that distributes the show. The event runs for one hour. It mixes seven classic Peppa Pig holiday episodes with the four new seasonal songs.

The episodes follow a family marking its first festive season as a family of five. Peppa, her family and the new arrival are the centre of the story, so the screening is built around that change.

For families who want the songs and the episodes in one sitting, the cinema event offers both in a single booking. Anyone who prefers to listen at home can find the album on streaming services from Friday.

Peppa Pig first aired as a British cartoon for pre-school children, and it has long relied on music as part of its appeal. This year's release puts that music in two places at once: a playlist on a phone, and a row of seats in a darkened room.
