The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (RTÉ, 7.05pm)
The third part of the classic Disney Christmas adventure. Santa’s finding that toy production is severely lagging but is struggling to get things in order because his alter ego Scott Calvin is expecting a baby with his wife Carol. In laws want to come and visit, so he has to spend as little time as possible in the North Pole.
On top of all of that, the evil Jack Frost is on probation and under Santa’s supervision at the toy factory, which makes Santa wish he had never taken the role and responsibility that he has. Stress can get to everyone around this time of year. Even Santa.

Everybody’s talking about… Ed Sheeran on The Late Late Show
He performed his new single ‘Perfect’, as well as a cover of ‘Fairytale of New York’ and reunited with the young girl he surprised on the Toy Show three years ago. All in all, a pretty decent appearance.
