Boxing Day premiere for new Ginger and the Vegesaurs

A new episode of beloved preschool animation Ginger and the Vegesaurs will air this Boxing Day on ABC Kids and iview, with a brand-new season to follow in January.

The episode Baby Banana will premiere on 26 December, and Season 4 will air from Monday 19 January, with 40 x 5 minute episodes for audiences to enjoy.

The new season sees Ginger and her baby Pea-Rex friends back for their biggest adventures yet. They’ll come face to face with the lightning-fast Radishraptor, bounce past the Lycheemodus, dodge the pranks of the cheeky Baby Bananaraptor, and brave the stink-tastic roar of the mighty Onion-Rex.

The Boxing Day Special episode airs on 26 December, 6am on ABC iview and 8:05am on ABC Kids. Season 4 premieres Monday 19 January at 6am on ABC iview and weekdays at 8:05am on ABC Kids.
