The story will follow the adventures of Holly and her brother Jack on Christmas Eve as they send their wishes to Father Christmas.
However, their wishes are stolen by the mischievous Wish Taker, prompting Holly to set off in search of them in a bid to ensure they arrive to Father Christmas in time for Christmas day.
The CBeebies Christmas show was written by Nathan Cockerhill and composers Banks and Wag have provided the music.
It will also air in cinemas across the UK and Ireland with additional content.
