With Anneka Rice

Please join Anneka Rice for your Festive Favourite... Junior Choice as she presents two hours of musical fun both old and new on Christmas morning.

We hope your bells are Jingling, you’ve decked the halls and Santa has already come to town, it’s time for your Festive Favourite… Junior Choice.

Oh yes! Anneka is back and for the next two hours she’s the girl with a bumper bag brimmed full of musical fun both old and new. We’ll have dragons called Puff, elephants known as Nellie, a load of mice trapped in a windmill in Old Amsterdam, maybe even a little Baby Shark and, let’s face it, 'We Don’t Talk About Bruno'. Sing-along favourites for kids of all ages and, what’s more, the choice is down to you - the listener - as you get to choose. So while you’re peeling the spuds, scoring those Brussel sprouts and wrapping the last of the presents, get in touch! Let us know what you’re up to and what you’d like to hear using all the usual ways: email anneka@bbc.co.uk, text 88291 or WhatsApp 08000 288 291.

AND in the year that The Â鶹ԼÅÄ celebrates reaching 100, we thought we’d mark the occasion by playing children’s theme tunes throughout the decades pulling them all together in bite size chunks to test your knowledge. Plus, we have our own personal landmark - 70 years ago today, Christmas Day, the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Light Programme gave us Children's Choice, the first ever request show for children.

So Happy Birthday to US and join Anneka Rice as she provides the perfect accompaniment to your Christmas morning with the joyous Junior Choice, live from Wogan House.
