Yeti Television to produce Christmas competition special for Channel 4

Yeti Television was commissioned by Channel 4 for the Christmas competition special, "Sandi Toksvig’s Tiny Christmas Challenge" that will air on Channel 4 in December. The 60-minute special will see two teams of amateur crafters take on the challenge of transforming a miniature alpine cabin into the ultimate Christmas retreat.

Sian Price, Creative Director at Yeti says “There’s something magical about Christmas… but the miniature magic created by our exceptionally talented crafters will leave you rubbing your eyes in disbelief! It’s been a true festive treat to work with Sandi and Channel 4 on a miniature show once again. We can’t wait to share this seasonal special with audiences this Christmas!”

Sandi Toksvig will present the competition in which the crafters work in teams to create all the aspects of the perfect Christmas cabin, from the detailed decorations to the miniature Christmas feast. World-record holding micro-sculptor Dr Willard Wigan MBE and interior design guru Laura Jackson are tasked with judging the results, looking at all details of the cabins and each item in the rooms. The winning miniature crafter will receive a tiny festive trophy and the title of Sandi Toksvig’s Tiny Christmas Challenge Champion.

Clemency Green, Channel 4 Senior Commissioning Editor says “I’m thrilled that we’ll be decking the halls with these miniature marvels this Christmas! The team at Yeti have pulled together a gorgeous festive offering and I can’t wait for audiences to be wowed, and hopefully inspired, by the work of these incredibly talented makers.”

The commission from Channel 4 follows the hugely successful series "The Great Big Tiny Design Challenge" from Yeti Television, which aired earlier this year on More4.
