Christmas

Amuseables Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows is the ultimate pajama party host. Cozy nights in are her specialty – complete with playlists, blanket forts, and just the right number of marshmallows (two, obviously). She’s a very diligent host: matching mugs, bedtime story rotations, and a firm lights-out policy. Not that anyone listens, except Smudge Lamb – though she’s pretty much always asleep. Steady, sweet, and full of charm, she’s always warm – even when Ricky Rain Frog forgets his slippers again.

Amuseables Gingerbread House says, “a house is only a home if there are treats in every room.” A seasoned sweet smuggler with secret stashes everywhere, he makes sure that no-one is left without a treat. There are candy canes in the chimney, chocolate buttons in the walls, and a just-in-case truffle tucked behind the sugar wreath (emergencies only). So, if you’re ever short on something delicious, just follow the smell of cinnamon and knock twice. He’s probably got something hidden in the skirting board...

Luxe Bunny Pine is a self-taught treehouse designer – though “designer” might be a stretch... Architect of branches, blankets and wildly ambitious floorplans, he’s forever up a ladder with a pencil behind one ear and a mug of tea in the other. His aesthetic? Cozy-woodland-conceptual. Think moss carpets, acorn sinks, and retractable rope bridges. When he’s not dreaming up new treehouses, he’s trying to draw up plans for his debut foraging hut – but he admits it’s very much a work in progress! If you ask nicely, he might just design you your own leafy loft.

Bashful Bunny with Christmas Tree adores hugs. In fact, she believes every season is hugging season – but Christmas? That’s peak cuddle time. She’s been counting down since midsummer, ears twitching at the thought of mince pies, fairy lights, and maximum snuggle opportunities. This year, she’s picked the perfect tree (small, spruce, extremely portable) and she’s not letting go. It’s soft, it’s sparkly, and it smells vaguely of cinnamon. (Well, she says it does.) You won’t need to ask for a hug when this bunny’s around.

Bashful Bunny ‘Snow Suit’ has a winter obsession – and it’s not hot chocolate (though she won’t say no). It’s snowmen. Meticulously sculpted and lovingly maintained, she’s even built one entirely from marshmallows! Her creations aren’t just snowmen, though. They’re friends. Some with hats, some with earmuffs, and all built with care – though she does have to avoid the odd snowball from Amuseables Peanut (he just can’t help himself). She’s already saved you a scarf and some buttons. Shall we build one together?

Bartholomew Bear has discovered snowboarding. Sort of. He’s mostly discovered the outfits. Now fully insulated in his fluff-trimmed snowsuit (complete with pretend zip and imaginary lift pass), he’s taken to the slopes in signature style: slow, steady, and with regular dance breaks. He talks a big game – “black runs only” – but his snowboard is mostly for posing, and his goggles have never seen a flake. Still, he looks the part. And for Bartholomew, that’s half the fun. (The other half is fondue.)
