Have I got some traintastic news for you, straight from Chuggington! Also, be sure to stay tuned, as a really awesome Chuggington giveaway is going up tomorrow right here on MamaBuzz. You won’t want to miss it!So, for this traintastic news….

First things first…. Have you seen the new Chuggington Terrific Trainee! App? If you haven’t, you’ll want to check it out on iTunes. We’ve been trying it out, and Jaden absolutely loves playing it. It took him a bit to get the hang of moving his trainees back and forth between tracks, but now he’s got it down, and he loves playing this new game. He’s able to take trainees along the rails, avoiding obstacles and switching tracks along the way, also earning badges as he earns certain achievements. It’s so much fun, and I highly recommend it for your little Chuggers. The app costs only $1.99 and is worth every penny, in my opinion.

Secondly…. Last week it was announced that Chuggington has been nominated for a 2012 Annie Award in the Best Animated TV Production- Preschool category! How exciting! Not only that, but a new episode is set to air this Friday, December 16 on Disney Junior! Just in time for the holidays, this new episode is titled, “Snowstruck Wilson.” You’ll definitely want to tune in with your Chuggers to watch.

Third…. You can find a great deal for the Chuggington Wooden Railway Trainee Set from Learning Curve on Groupon right now…. it’s at a 47% savings for only $69. Be sure to check out this awesome deal!

Finally, be sure to enter the Chuggington Traintastic Holiday Sweepstakes on Facebook. There are lots of prizes, including die-cast sets, books, DVDs, games, etc. One lucky fan will also win an iPod Touch that’s filled with Chuggington episodes and apps from iTunes this week.

Again, be sure to stop back by tomorrow, as we’ll have an awesomely traintastic giveaway going up from Chuggington! You won’t want to miss it!

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to you and yours!
