The holidays are here! Finally! I know many of you feel the same way. But with the December holidays comes the stress of Christmas, family get-togethers, road trips and the all-so-familiar ‘Mom, I’m bored’. Showmax comes to the rescue though …
How to keep the kids occupied on a long road trip
Earlier this year I wrote Are we there yet? Travel tips for fun road trips, and in that post I mentioned that I am all for electronic entertainment. Especially on those long hauls. A couple of years ago we did a trip from Cape Town to Bloem and I was so grateful for Cara’s tablet and the two movies we could watch on the way. We grew very tired of those two titles though, so I am elated about the great news I just received…
December holidays are coming up, and Showmax has searched the globe for the very best kids shows and movies. This is the biggest, coolest, craziest kids catalogue we’ve ever had and we can’t wait to share it Showmax subscribers, old and new.
The best part? You can download up to 25 titles to your Showmax account to watch offline. That should come in handy during your holiday road trip, or if your holiday destination doesn’t exactly have the best Wi-Fi :)
How awesome is that?! We are going camping shortly and now I’m not dreading the long drive anymore.
Cara can now take a few of her favourite shows along for the trip as it’s now possible to stream Boomerang, Cartoon Network, Nickelodeon, Disney and CBeebies on Showmax. Lately she’s been loving Henry Danger and The Thundermans.
I have to make sure that I have a say as well because I’ve been dying to see Shaun the Sheep The Farmer’s Llamas (who doesn’t love Llamas?!). So tonight it’s us and the Showmax App.
There are also heaps of new shows for the little ones, including Doc McStuffins and the Peppa Pig Christmas Special. Make sure to keep an eye out for Pablo too.
The groundbreaking CBeebies and RTÉJr series is the first animated TV series to star an autistic character and the first TV programme with an all-autistic core cast. Every episode is grounded in the real-life experiences of autistic children, with autistic young writers and contributors helping to bring ideas and perspectives to life in an honest and humorous way.
Well done Showmax, well done!
You know that if you don’t have Showmax you can sign up and get a 14-day free trial? Now is the perfect time to try it.
There is also a pretty sweet deal for Vodacom subscribers at the moment:
If you are a Vodacom contract or prepaid customer, you can add Showmax to your Vodacom bill. Do it before end January and get three months of FREE Showmax and 5 GB of data for free to use for streaming series and movies on Showmax. On the lowest data usage setting on the Showmax app for phones and tablets, that’s a total of 45 hours or more of streaming that won’t cost you a cent.
Once the three months’ free subscription has expired, Vodacom customers will pay R49 per month for Showmax for the following nine months instead of the full price of R99 per month. There’s no contract or lock-in period – you can cancel at any time before the promotion ends and you will not be billed. You can check it out HERE.
