ATLANTA, April 7 /Christian Newswire/ -- A basket full of Veggie friends tell the story of why millions of Christians around the world celebrate Easter past, present and future in the world television premiere of VeggieTales®: An Easter Carol on Gospel Music Channel Good Friday, April 10 at 7:00 p.m. ET. (Encores at 8:00 p.m.; Holy Saturday, April 11 at 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and Easter Sunday, April 12 at 1:00 p.m. (All times eastern.)

VeggieTales®: An Easter Carol -- inspired by the Charles Dickens' Christmas classic -- is the powerful retelling of the Easter story in a clever way that children can understand while providing parents with wholesome family-oriented entertainment that they can enjoy together. Filling London with plastic Easter eggs, Uncle Nezzer is on a rampage to make Easter "bigger than ever!" But just how hard can his mechanical chickens work before they're...well, fried? In just one unforgettable day and night, Cavis and Millward (Bob and Larry) and a music box angel named Hope (voiced by Rebecca St. James) must convince Nezzer that Easter is about more than just candy and eggs.
