The song from CBeebies children’s show Numberblocks is called How Many Sleeps ’til Christmas? and will raise money for Children in Need.

Numberblocks has released its very first Christmas song and single, How Many Sleeps ’til Christmas?, with a large proportion of profit going to Children in Need.

The Greatest Showman actress and singer Keala Settle will perform in a special festive video on YouTube for the song and Elle Cato, who recently toured with Van Morrison, will lend her voice for the single release.

All of the proceeds from the UK will go to UK-based charity Children in Need, to help support children and families who face hardship this Christmas.

In keeping with the Numberblocks’ mission to help children discover the wonder and excitement of maths, How Many Sleeps ’til Christmas? is a lively tune that encourages children to follow the advent calendar countdown to Christmas day.

BAFTA-winning Numberblocks is the educational hit TV series that follows the adventures of 10 unique counting block characters and all their number friends who like to play games, sing songs, make patterns and go on adventures in Numberland. The interactive series makes maths visible and easy to understand while engaging children with songs and lots of magical fun.

Numberblocks, part of Alphablocks, the home of the universe of Blocks shows – Alphablocks, Numberblocks and Colourblocks – has a rapidly growing fan base globally, especially in the US with over one-fifth of the Numberblocks YouTube traffic coming from America. The show originally aired on CBeebies and is now available on Netflix, Noggin, YouTube Kids and Kidoodle outside the UK. Alphablocks is owned and run by Blocks creator Joe Elliot and Blue Zoo.

Joe Elliot, said: “Our ambition to reach and teach children continues to grow and I am absolutely thrilled to have this earworm out in the world for Christmas 2022. The team has produced something special that we can truly be proud of and we hope everyone enjoys counting down to Christmas with the Numberblocks this holiday season.”
