Nickelodeon is getting into the holiday spirit by announcing a brand new original festive reality competition that will have you cozying up in front of the television with your little ones this season!

The network announced the series premiere of “TOP ELF”, an original competition series that includes five one-hour episodes of seven kid ‘Elf-testants’ with extraordinary building and design skills that will compete in holiday challenges with the goal of becoming Santa’s ‘Top Elf’. The winner will have their wish lists granted, but not for themselves — for good causes in their hometowns.

Tommy Snider and Samantha Turrett will star as Santa and Ms. Jingles, respectively, as celebrity guests help out the judging process each week–including: Frankie Grande, Amirah Kassem, Peyton List, Alex Wassabi and Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy.

There are 40 original movies slated for Hallmark’s iconic Christmas programming event this year, and one in particular is sure to warm your heart this holiday season! The Christmas Club, starring Camerson Mathison and Elizabeth Mitchell, tells the inspiring story of random acts of kindness, friendship and love — and it’s set to premiere during the 10th Anniversary of Hallmark Channel’s Countdown to Christmas lineup. Lolly Christmas chatted with Barbara Hinske, the author of the novella on which the film is based, about the writing process and being on the festive set as her imagination came to life — read what she had to say below!

Can you tell me more about The Christmas Club?
An elderly woman slips on the ice and her hard-earned Christmas Club money is lost to the wind. Two strangers come to her aid and a series of pay-it-forward, random acts of kindness is set in motion.

What inspired the story?
A sermon I heard many years ago contained the story of a stranger helping someone recover money that had blown out of their hands and centered on the theme of doing kind things for people in nice ways. Anonymous kindness is sometimes the nicest approach and that idea stuck with me because I — like many of us — love to be acknowledged for doing something generous. I expanded and fictionalized this story but kept the main theme intact.
