A relentlessly festive fiend, the Bonobohohoho never shuts its mouth. With a beard down to the ground and a withered red hat, this Christmas Creature bounds around ho ho hoing every minute of the day.

Being kissed on the cheeks by like-minded souls one minute and kicked up the arse by cynical sods the next, it’s safe to say the Bonobohohoho is real crowd splitter.

This bugger-beaked buffoon is a right greedy git. It spends the whole of December flying round the world filling its guts with every tangerine, chestnut and piece of novelty stationery it can find.

Void of a permanent residence, this Christmas Creature will rest its bonce tied to the foot of the nearest terrified toddler’s bed.

A roly-poly, currant-coloured, spicy-scented hog, the Mulled Swine is an absolute delight.

With its toasty looking mittens, knitted scarf and bobble hat, it’s the warmest of all Christmas Creatures. So warm, in fact, by the end of December it’s nothing but a pretty piggy puddle.

A sparkly streak of vanity, the Tinseal flaunts its festive flesh and candy cane whiskers on land for all to see.

The most narcissistic of all Christmas Creatures, it dodges H2O as much as possible due to looking pathetic when wet. As a water dweller this makes for a rather miserable, albeit stunning looking, beast.
