The wait is nearly over for children - and a lot of adults - as the Late Late Toy Show airs tonight.
The theme of this year's show is inspired by the Disney film, 'The Little Mermaid'.
Our reporter Juliette Gash was there to get a sneak peak ahead of tonight's show.

"I have wanted to do The Little Mermaid for the Toy Show for years and, at last, my ship has come in!

"I can honestly say that it is like nothing you have ever seen on the show before and I think people are really going to enjoy it.
"There's something in it for absolutely everyone in the family.
"My costume is a sight to behold but I am loving everything about this year's opening."

This year’s show boasts a cast with more than 200 performers and 28 toy testers taking part.
The children come from all over the country - with the youngest just four-years-old.
The Late Late Toy Show airs tonight at 9.35pm on RTÉ One.
