Tis the season on both sides of the portal as Debbie is gearing up for Christmas and Yonderland is celebrating Thanktival...Christmas is a stressful time for all of us but it's doubly headache-inducing for Debbie Maddox aka the Chosen One.

We meet back up with Debbie as she's getting the Maddox household ready for an imminent Christmas Eve party and angrily tracking an undelivered Christmas present for her in-laws. In Yondcrland, our favourite idiot Elders are preparing for 'Thanktival' a Yondcrland festival where (in true Yondcrlandian style) people buy presents to thank their friends and family for all they've done for them throughout the year but before they can open them they're gobbled up by a Monster called Chompus. Meanwhile the Elders' Youngers are preparing for the annual Thanktival Song Contest although 143 Days of Thanktival is an awful lot of days to sit through when your singers arc as tone deaf as this lot.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Debbie's husband Peter (Dan Skinner) has been offered a promotion that means the family must relocate to Glasgow. After the arrival of the long-lost Elder Cuddly Dick (Stephen Fry), Debbie feels she can leave the realm in his safe hands. But is she really ready to leave Yonderland forever, and can Yonderland survive without its Chosen One?
