The Christmas Imaginarium, situated on Cross Street in Ryde, might look like a niche, small retail business, but it’s actually world famous and even has customers travelling to the Island just to step inside and immerse themselves in all things Christmas-related.
Just before Christmas 2021, Russell Ince, The Christmas Imaginarium’s founder, appeared in a feature-length Christmas special that aired on TV in the USA.
Santa’s Official Biographer
‘The Secrets of Christmas Revealed’ featured Russell Ince as himself in the role of Santa’s Official Biographer.
He explained to News OnTheWight that he was approached by the executive producer for the show, who asked if he’d be interested in appearing in this new Christmas special in his capacity as Santa’s Official Biographer, and Christmas expert.
Russell told News OnTheWight,
“I have never done TV or any kind of acting before, so saw it as an opportunity to try something new in my quest to spread the magic of Christmas around the world.”
Watch the Christmas special
If you didn’t get enough of a Christmas fix last month, why not sit down and get comfortable to watch the feature via YouTube.
