    MUMBAI: US broadcaster Fox will dish out extra helpings of family fun with two new animated holiday specials, ?Ice Age: A Mammoth christmas? and ?Happiness is A Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown?, on 24 November.

    In ?Ice Age: A Mammoth Christmas? the arctic herd is busy decorating for the holiday season. In his rush to help, Sid (John Leguizamo) destroys Manny?s (Ray Romano) favorite decorations. Manny is so upset, he convinces Sid he is now on Santa?s naughty list. Sid, Crash (Seann William Scott), EDDIE (Josh Peck) and Peaches (Ciara Bravo) take off for the North Pole to plead their case to Santa (Billy Gardell).

    Meanwhile, Manny, Ellie (Queen Latifah) and Deigo (Denis Leary), worry over Peaches? safety and race to find her. Back at the North Pole, Sid and his crew accidentally destroy Santa?s Workshop on Christmas Eve, and it?s up to these newfound friends to orchestrate a Christmas miracle. The special, directed by Karen Disher, also features the voice talent of Chris Wedge, T.J. Miller and Judah Friedlander.

    Then, in ?Happiness Is A Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown? the Peanuts gang is back and ready to help Linus (Austin Lux) break away from his childhood security blanket. The stakes are high as Linus learns his grandmother is coming to visit, and he must decide whether or not to dispose of his most cherished possession. In an effort to help Linus kick his habit, Charlie Brown (Trenton Rogers), Lucy (Grace Rolek) and even Snoopy pitch in to help. Lucy is quick to attempt her amateur psychiatric skills, while Snoopy employs the age old drag-and-run method. Despite all attempts, Linus eventually learns that security is a valuable quality in life and everyone is entitled to their own version of a security blanket.
