The 60-second trailer for this year’s The Late Toy Show has been unveiled ahead of the broadcast on December 4, as reported by RTÉ.
Viewers watching the Six One News on RTÉ One received the first look at the festive clip.
Presenter Patrick Kielty takes a lift below ground to ‘The Late Toy Show Lab’ in the footage, where a team of junior scientists works on the theme, the Irish Examiner reported. The young researchers promise Kielty “extra magic” and “extra OMG” before leading him to a locked door.
“That is… amazing!” Kielty said, according to the Irish Examiner, after reacting to the hidden theme.
“Every year, there’s much speculation over The Late Toy Show theme, with the guessing game starting weeks in advance,” the Toy Show team said, according to Limerick Leader. “People just can’t wait to find out what it is – none so much as presenter Patrick Kielty!”
The RTÉ Toy Show Appeal will return for its seventh year alongside the broadcast, supporting children and families across Ireland, the Irish Examiner reported. The initiative has raised more than €31 million since it started in 2020, according to LMFM.
Last year’s grants supported 173 charities and benefited more than one million children and family members across the island, the Irish Examiner stated. Viewers can donate throughout the live broadcast using Revolut or online at rte.ie/toyshowappeal, as detailed by EVOKE.
“There have been four bajillion guesses and counting,” a child in the trailer said.
The Late Toy Show will air live on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player on Friday, December 4 at 9:35pm, according to RTÉ. The programme will also stream live and on-demand worldwide via the RTÉ Player, LMFM reported.
“Grab yourself a hot chocolate and have your favourite cosy pyjamas at the ready, because this year’s Late Toy Show is on the way – can’t wait!” the Toy Show team said.
