We welcome you once again to the trial of the century: yes, Santa Claus is in the dock, and the prosecution and defence will present the evidence for and against the imprisonment of Saint Nick - and the cancellation of Christmas.

This is the final day of the Trial of Santa Claus. Over the past 12 days, the prosecution and the defence have presented their evidence for and against Christmas traditions, films and songs - and now it is time for you to decide whether Santa Claus is innocent or guilty.

Today, the action is moving from the North Pole to Buckingham Palace, as the prosecution and defence - led by Kelly Crichton and Dan McLaughlin - debate the Queen’s Christmas Speech.
Should the Royal Christmas Message be knocked off its throne in our TV schedules? Or is Queen Elizabeth II's address to the nation really the crown jewels of our festive programming?

Day 8: 'Oh Yes It Is' or 'Oh No It Isn't' to Pantomime?
The Trial of Santa Claus
12/19/21 • 12 min
Over 12 days in our Christmas court, you will decide whether our chimneys should be blocked this year, or if we should unclamp Rudolf and let the sleigh ride high once again?
In today's court proceedings, the prosecution and the defence - led by Kelly Crichton and Dan McLaughlin - will ask whether it should be 'Oh Yes It Is!' or 'Oh No It Isn't!' to pantomimes. Is there nothing like dame, or should we put the British theatre tradition behind us?

Day 2: Christmas Trees
The Trial of Santa Claus
12/13/21 • 15 min
The defence, led by Dan McLaughlin, will present the evidence in favour of O Tannenbaum, saying it is NEVER too early to put up your Christmas tree. In fact, you may not be putting up your decorations early enough!
And the prosecution, led by Kelly Crichton, will tell you where to stick your tree - and we most certainly don’t mean with a fairy on top. She will probably deck you at the first sign of tinsel and fairy lights!

The Trial of Santa Claus - Trailer
The Trial of Santa Claus
12/07/21 • 3 min
You are invited to become members of the jury as the defence and prosecution put the case forward to either cancel or save Christmas.
Over 12 days in December, the defence - led by Dan McLaughlin - and the prosecution - led by Kelly Crichton and Matt Millard - will present the evidence for the pros and cons of a Christmas tradition, carol/song, or a festive film.
From Mariah’s warbling to mulled wine, Christmas shopping to whether Die Hard is actually a festive flick, you will decide the outcome of each day in our Christmas court.
If you agree with the defence, Santa’s salvation edges nearer; or if you agree with the prosecution, Saint Nick is closer to the nick.
By the end of the 12 days, ‘The Trial of Santa Claus’ will determine Father Christmas’ guilt or innocence - and whether he can ride his sleigh with his reindeer ahead of the big day itself.
