Our exclusive trip bundle includes travel and luxury hotel accommodation, tickets to the wonderful Natural History Museum Ice Rink presented by A Boy Called Christmas, West End theatre tickets and a trip to Hamleys in preparation for Father Christmas.

A Boy Called Christmas is a Sky Original film based around the origin of Father Christmas.  An ordinary young boy called Nikolas sets out on an extraordinary adventure into the snowy north in search of his father who is on a quest to discover the fabled village of the elves, Elfhelm.  Taking with him a headstrong reindeer called Blitzen and a loyal pet mouse, Nikolas soon meets his destiny in this magical, comic and endearing story that proves nothing is impossible…

This enchanting story of discovery follows an ordinary young boy who overcomes the impossible to bring hope & joy to his kingdom, so we’re asking Virgin Radio UK listeners to send in their stories of hope and joy from the past year.

Click here to submit your entry of hope and joy along with your details; it could be an inspiring personal story, a heartwarming poem... or something else entirely! Chris and the team will choose their favourite entries to win our fantastic prize each day next week.

A Boy Called Christmas is in cinemas and on Sky Cinema Friday 26th November.

Good luck!
