“My kids are honestly more impressed that I’m reading a Bluey book than anything I’ve ever done. That includes going to the Coronation, meeting Lady Gaga, or the time I made pumpkin soup in an actual pumpkin.” – Adam Hills

Keeping things festive, Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe’s reading of Christmas Swim will go live on the 1 December. A story set on Christmas Day, it’s the perfect weather for a swim with Muffin, Socks, Stripe, and more. Bluey has a new toy, but how will Bartlebee handle his first Heeler Christmas?

“When I was invited to read ‘Christmas Swim,’ I couldn’t resist diving right in (so to speak). Celebrating Christmas outdoors is such an iconic part of Aussie life, being a passionate swimmer, this story felt like a perfect fit. I hope all the Bluey fans around the world enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed bringing it to life.” – Ian Thorpe
