Matt Baker dons a Santa Claus hat and helps feed a flock of sheep in a first-look clip from More4\u2019s Our Farm in the Dales<\/a> Christmas special, airing Monday 13th December<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the short clip, released exclusively by RadioTimes.com<\/a>, Baker\u00a0and his shepherdess mother Janice round up their sheep and distribute Yuletide treats, all while dressed in festive hats and winter jumpers.<\/p>\n

While feeding the flock, the presenter quips: \u201cI\u2019ll give you a tiny bit more \u2013 it is Christmas, after all.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the official synopsis for the festive special, \u201cthere\u2019s no stopping when it comes to jobs that need doing\u201d over the holiday season at Baker farm.<\/p>\n

The synopsis continues: \u201cBefore the winter storms hit, Matt takes charge of building a roadway that will allow mum Janice to safely access the hill field and after taking down some trees, one is salvaged to be the courtyard Christmas tree. Feeding up time is an essential at this time of year and the whole family pitch in distributing festive treats to the farm\u2019s animals.<\/p>\n

\u201cMatt and dad Mike are also busy in the workshop building a nativity themed surprise for the donkeys and Nicola enlists Luke and Molly\u2019s help to prepare some special treats that also double as edible decorations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<p>Back in April, the Countryfile presenter told\u00a0<strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong>\u00a0that <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/documentaries\/matt-baker-our-farm-in-the-dales-return-series-2-exclusive-newsupdate\/"\" rel=\""noopener"\">he wasn\u2019t sure if he\u2019d be up for series two<\/a>, but evidently he soon decided, as the show was recommissioned for two more seasons and the upcoming Christmas special.<\/p> <p>When the series was renewed in August, Baker said in a statement that he and his family were \u201coverwhelmed with the response to the first series\u201d, adding: \u201cMy whole family are delighted to welcome viewers back to witness the next chapter of our farm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to Deborah Dunnett and Channel 4 for their continued support and confidence in my growing production company and team. To have a festive special too is the icing on the Christmas cake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Farm in the Dales airs\u00a0Monday 13th December at 9pm on More4 and All 4.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>To find out what\u2019s on TV tonight, check out our <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/tv-listings\/"\" rel=\""noopener\" noreferrer=\"\">TV Guide<\/a> or visit our <a href=\""https:\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/tv\/documentaries\/"\">Documentaries<\/a> hub for all the latest news.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Flora Carr Published: Monday, 13 December 2021 at 12:00 am Matt Baker dons a Santa Claus hat and helps feed a flock of sheep in a first-look clip from More4\u2019s Our Farm in the Dales Christmas special, airing Monday 13th December.
