Presenter Ryan Tubridy said in a year that has seen children and adults across the land seek refuge in books and films, what better theme for this year's Late Late Toy Show.

"It has been a very strange year, and that's why this Christmas is so important. It's also why this year's Late Late Toy Show is possibly the most important of all time," Ryan says. "We're going to be singing, we're going to be dancing, we're going to be playing with toys, and we're going to be having lots and lots and lots and lots of fun. We need you to gather together and join us, and let's make Christmas, Christmas!"

This year there will be a new international element to the show with children from around the world taking part virtually.

The Late Late Toy Show takes place on Friday November 27th at 09.35pm on RTÉ One.
