For those who may not be as familiar the Cranberry Christmas background & story synopsis are below:

In 2008, Ocean Spray launched its first animated television special – “Cranberry Christmas” –on ABC Family as part of the network’s annual 25 Days of Christmas programming event.

Ocean Spray created the animated show as a special gift to consumers, commercial-free. The show is based on the classic 1976 children's book of the same title, written and illustrated by Wende and Harry Devlin. “Cranberry Christmas” features two new original songs performed by the legendary Grammy® Award-winning singer/songwriter, Barry Manilow.

Set in the fictitious town of Cranberryport, the story begins three days before Christmas when grumpy old Cyrus Grape forbids children to play and skate on the ice over the local cranberry bog near his home. Young Maggie, along with her grandmother and their friend Mr. Whiskers, work together to save Christmas Day for the children by reclaiming their favorite ice skating spot and discovering the land's rightful owner.

When Mr. Whiskers learns his sister is coming to visit, it's a scramble to get his house in order and Maggie and her grandmother pitch in to help clean the old house. While working, they uncover a hidden box that holds a surprise for everyone…

Maggie and her grandmother make delicious cookies to serve at their Christmas feast!

Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
