While Visions of Sugarplums Danced in Their Heads

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring -- except for your kids, who keep appearing for one more question about just how Santa Claus manages to get down the chimney, anyway.

Apply a little pseudo "peer pressure" with (of all things!) your TV. Everyone else is asleep waiting for Santa, you can assure the kids -- including their friends from PBS's Sprout. Flick on Sprout's first holiday Snooze-A-Thon, an 11-hour, uninterrupted block showcasing popular nighttime host Nina and her puppet sidekick Star from The Good Night Show(R) snoozing comfortably on the set. So, no matter what time of night the kids are up checking for the sound of reindeer hooves on the roof, parents can tune into Sprout to show them that even their favorite television friends are fast asleep waiting for Santa to arrive with their presents.

This preschool version of holiday TV's virtual fireplace runs from 7:00 p.m. ET on Dec. 24 straight through to 6:00 a.m. ET Christmas morning. For additional information and programming schedules or to find out where Sprout is available in your area, visit Sprout online.
