Here's how to watch "Shaun The Sheep: Fleece Navidad" online from anywhere with a VPN — and potentially for free.

And there is nothing wrong with that although the fact that this extra Chrismassy episode was available in June in Australia is a bit weird (even if it is their winter). Not that a field full of sheep secretly knitting jumpers to wear on the front of a Christmas card in an attempt to out do Farmer Ben's card is at all weird.

Inevitably of course, Shaun and the gang encounter problems - no least of which is getting them all to pose for the photograph and making sure everyone is on it - but do they manage to pull it off and make sure the Mossy Bottom Farm card is the more spectacular. There's only one way to find out.
