Nothing goes to plan when the Christmases are about! Uncle Christmas: disaster strikes when Nick (a.k.a.

Granny Christmas: Nick and Harry's Granny turns up with her grumpy pet penguin, Percy, to stay for the festive season, causing chaos with her inventions and nearly ruining all the careful preparation the boys have done!
