For the Christmas Special in 2016, the show moved back to a late afternoon slot, 5.30pm until 6.05pm. There were more games, and the chart was shown at the end of the episode in one block.

Whilst the series was not on air a video of the chart was published on the CBBC website. In the break between series 1 and 2, the video was shown on CBBC every Friday at 6.30pm.
