Jump Jump And The Ice Queen

The Christmas holiday season is almost upon us and for anyone who enjoyed the Cinnamon Bear series we have a real treat in store for you. Jump Jump and the Ice Queen is a wonderful children’s series, which was originally broadcast from Thanksgiving through to Christmas in 1948.

The story is told to us by Tim a little boy who lives in an orphanage. It is almost Christmas and Tim has been talking to some of the other boys in the orphanage and they begin to wonder whether Santa will remember them and worry that he will only go to “whole” families and wouldn’t bother to stop at an orphanage.

When he goes to bed that night Tim cannot sleep and looks out of the window to the North Star. He thinks that if he could just follow the North Star he would get to the North Pole before long and he’d find Santa and just ask him if he plans to visit everyone at Christmas.

Tim decides to set off and follow the North Star and sets off in to the woods. After walking for some time he lays down to rest in the woods and just as he is getting comfortable something taps him on his knee. 

It was the tiny little elf Jump Jump who is to become the focus of this wonderful fantasy adventure tale. Jump Jump is a little elf who jumps up and down, backwards and forwards and sideways and who talks so funny and so fast that you can’t understand him all the time. He lives at Holiday House with Mary Holiday who is Santa’s personal secretary and where every day is a holiday like Christmas all the time.  

And so begins this charming and enticing twenty-five part series which is guaranteed to cheer up any child, grandchild or young at heart over the coming holiday season. So on RUSC as the serialization of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde comes to an end we are about to get you hooked on another series!

There are twenty-five fifteen minute episodes which we will add each day throughout December. Joy and I will also be putting together a list of Christmas shows currently available on RUSC as well as adding some new ones for your pleasure.  

Happy listening my friends,
