Yes, we know we haven’t even had Halloween yet, but we can’t resist thinking about Christmas already. After all, it was a strange one last year.

As well as the turkey and presents, there will be all sorts of festive entertainment to look forward to, from TV specials to blockbuster films.

Plus, there will be Christmassy audio books to enjoy, including JK Rowling’s latest release, The Christmas Pig. If, like us, you have the patience of a gnat, you’ll be pleased to hear that RadioTimes.com has secured an exclusive clip from the new story.

The Christmas Pig is the tale of a little boy called Jack and his beloved childhood toy, Dur Pig (DP), which goes missing one Christmas Eve. Then something magical happens as his new toy, the Christmas Pig, comes to life and conjures up a daring plan to save DP’s bacon (we couldn’t resist…).

According to the official information, the story is “A heartwarming adventure about one child’s love for his most treasured thing and how far he will go to find it. A tale for the whole family to fall in love with, from one of the world’s greatest storytellers.”
