Milkshake! is a children’s pre-school programming block that broadcasts every morning on Channel 5 from 6am to bring the viewers sunshine every day and to celebrate kids and their families with the very best of UK content and world class super brands.
Milkshake! is a destination for preschoolers aged 2-6 years old that is fun, safe, imaginative and also encourages pre-schoolers to wonder, learn and understand the world around them.
It is home to some of the nation’s most loved preschool characters, such as; Peppa Pig, PAW Patrol, Pip & Posy, The Adventures of Paddington, Fireman Sam, Thomas & Friends, and many, many more.
The Milkshake! studio has a presenting team, plus its own life-sized puppet, Milkshake! Monkey. The presenters celebrate viewer only birthday’s, good deeds, achievements, first time triumphs, new siblings and pets, with shout outs and photos. Viewers are encouraged to participate through the presenters’ dance routines, book readings, games and activities.
Milkshake! is a strong supporter of the UK Independent production industry and we commission and acquire both animated and live action content, in partnership with external production partners, for the preschool audience of 2-6 year olds. We also produce Milkshake! programmes in-house.
