A new, animated followup to the Ice Age movie series, Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas (airing on Fox, 8 p.m. tonight) features the return of Sid, the giant ground sloth, and Manny, the woolly mammoth. Yes, Santa was even around way back then!

In A Mammoth Christmas Sid ruins Manny’s favourite decorations. As punishment, Manny convinces Sid he’s on Santa’s naughty list. Worried that he won’t get his annual sacks of presents from Santa, Sid gathers his pals and treks to the North Pole to plead his case. Of course, nothing goes quite right for Sid ...

At 8:30 you can watch a much less Christmasy Peanuts special, Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown, in which the Peanuts gang tries to convince Linus to let go of his cherished, childhood security blanket.

So gather the kids (or send them to bed), make yourself some hot chocolate, and enjoy!
