What’s inside the four adventures

• Jingle Bells! — Holiday chaos: all of Santa's presents are stolen, a sea monster threatens fairground fun day, and a weird cat curses Sam. Plenty of festive thrills and laugh-out-loud moments.
• Up, Up and Away — A wacky race sabotaged by the notorious Red Rocket sees Shifty and Sam uncover the culprit and ensure the rightful winner takes home the prize.
• The Spooky School — Halloween at St Spectre’s School brings cheeky ghosts, weather gone wild and mysterious mischief by a power-grabbing red panda — plus a raccoon gang with dastardly toilet-fixing plans!
