ARE you getting excited about Christmas yet? If so, here’s an exciting movie to get you in the mood. It’s A Boy Called Christmas and it tells the story of young boy called Nicholas, whose mum nicknamed him “Christmas” ... and how he becomes Father Christmas.
When his country needs hope, he goes on a quest to find the elves — and discovers he needs to give them fun and hope as well.
It has a whole host of famous actors, a flying reindeer called Blitzen and an adorable talking mouse called Miika (voiced by Stephen Merchant).
There is some darkness in the movie as well, with the story being read to three children who have lost their mother and aren’t happy at Christmas, as well as some scary scenes — so it’s perhaps not for very young children.
But there are plenty of laughs for children and adults — and a message of hope shining through.
It has preview screenings at selected cinemas now and will be out in all cinemas on November 25.
To celebrate its release, Funday has five prize packs, each consisting of a family pass to the cinema and the book by Matt Haig on which the movie is based.
To enter, finish the maze, colour it in and then ask your parent or carer to take a photograph and email it to:
funday@sundaytelegraph.com.au.
Please put A Boy Called Christmas in the subject line and fill in the coupon so we can contact you if you are a winner.
Harry the Dog and the Funday team will only select the best five entries to receive the passes, so make sure you get creative.
Entries must be in by Thursday so the winners can be published on the Health Hacker page in next week’s Sunday Telegraph.
