List of Episodes Airing on Special Days

View source

"Let’s do everything!" — Ten
This page is a list of stuff.

There are various Alphablocks, Numberblocks, Colourblocks and Alphablocks & Numberblocks episodes that aired on special days since 2010. Here is a list of those instances. (So far, however, Boo! is the only seasonal special - To air on the exact day with which it is associated; the ordinary episodes' airdates have all been purely coincidental.)

The episodes will be listed by year, the special days categorised by date and the shows categorised by the order they were first aired.

In General[]

  • Instances for when special days occur prior to the Learningblocks shows releasing will not be included for obvious reasons.
    • For Alphablocks' special releases, no information will be gathered from years 2009 and prior, nor New Year's Day 2010.
    • For Numberblocks' special releases, no information will be gathered from years 2016 and prior, nor New Year's Day 2017.
    • For Colourblocks' special releases, no information will be gathered from years 2021 and prior, nor any other special day in 2022 prior to September.
    • For Wonderblocks' special releases, no information will be gathered from years 2024 and prior, nor New Year's Day 2025.
  • All special days included are secular, with the only exception being Christmas Day, since the Learningblocks shows have special episodes about it.
  • Special days that aren't celebrated in the UK, like Thanksgiving Day, will not be included.

List of Christmas Day (25th December) Airings[]

In General[]

Learningblocks episodes airing on Christmas Day is extremely rare. It is unknown why, but it is because despite Alphablocks and Numberblocks now having Christmas specials, the shows could not fit well with the festivity that other shows present during Christmas Day.

Ironically, starting in 2021, one random Numberblocks episode will air on Christmas Day based on the episodes that aired before it on the same time slot, and because of that, in 2021, Square on the Moon became the first episode to ever air on Christmas Day in the history of Learningblocks, despite it not being a Christmas special at all. In 2023, Alphablocks and Colourblocks also began airing episodes on Christmas Day.

Alphablocks[]

  • No episodes have aired on Christmas 2010-2022.
  • Thing - This episode aired in the morning of Christmas 2023.
  • Hen - This Episode aired in the afternoon of Christmas 2023.
  • Wig - This episode aired in the morning of Christmas 2024.
  • Hat - This episode aired in the afternoon of Christmas 2024.

Numberblocks[]

  • No episodes aired on Christmas 2017-2020.
  • Square on the Moon - This episode aired once on Christmas 2021, and became the first ever Learningblocks episode to do so.
  • Fifteen - This episode aired once on Christmas 2022.
  • Loop the Loop - This episode aired in the morning of Christmas 2023.
