The month features the premiere of a new episode of Wow Wow Wubbzy titled A Great and Grumpy Holiday/The Super-Special Gift. In the episode Wubbzy and his friends go up to Mt. Zubba Bubba to get a Christmas tree for Wuzzleburg Square and are chased off the property by Old Man Grumpus.  Wubbzy sets out to soften Grumpus’ heart by decorating the perfect tree to surprise him. Grumpus is still as mad as a hornet until he sees Wubbzy’s present: his very own small-scale train.  The humbugger is so delighted that he brings the decorated tree down to Wuzzleburg for the big Christmas celebration.

The newspaper is run by Pablo and is located in the city of Bigopolis where there’s always a big story. When a giant robot threatens to invade the city, it proves too much to handle for resident superheroes Captain Bubble (Tyrone) and Bug Girl (Uniqua). A Berlin Cabaret soundtrack moves the action along as Snap has to step in and save the day! Will Tasha get the front page photo she so desperately wants?

9:30 a.m. – Go, Diego, Go! “Super Flying Super Squirrel to the Rescue”

Diego is riding his motorcycle when he encounters a flying squirrel trying to save a pygmy marmoset. But the marmoset is too heavy and Diego must come to the rescue. The flying squirrel feels bad he wasn’t able to do it alone, because he really thought he was a “super” flying squirrel. Diego tells the flying squirrel to assist him on a mission to save some crying baby birds. Along the way, they use the flying squirrel’s “super” hearing, “super” eyesight and “super” gliding to rescue the baby birds.

10:00 a.m. – The Wonder Pets! “Save the Visitor”

Tuck wakes up in the middle of the night and finds a visitor in the classroom—an extra terrestrial! The Wonder Pets form a bond with their new friend, who must return home soon, or be stuck on earth forever.

In the movie, “Tale of the Mighty Knights,” royal knights Uniqua and Tyrone are ready to do mighty deeds in service to their King (Pablo). It seems like a pretty simple task until the King asks them to babysit an egg, which grows legs and runs away! A rock opera soundtrack moves the action along as the knights pursue their egg in Goblin Land and encounter a grabbing goblin (Austin), through Fairyland where they meet a tiny and mischievous fairy (Tasha), and finally to Dragon Mountain where they face a mighty baby dragon (Adam Pascal). The musical theme for the movie is a rock opera.

The movie will air at 7 p.m. on Nick Jr.
