Little Charmers is a 2015 Canadian-American computer-animated children's television series produced by Nelvana Enterprises and Spin Master Entertainment for Treehouse TV. The series premiered on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. in the United States on January 12.Treehouse TV announced a week later that it was scheduled in Canada on the last day of January; however, episode 2 debuted 6 days after this announcement, and 6 days prior to the scheduled debut.
Most of the episodes are split into 2 stories, except for 8: a Valentine's Day special, an Easter special, four episodes with mostly reused footage recapping previous events with mistake/music/pet/magic theme, a Halloween special and a Christmas special.
Mrs. Charming tries to bake without magic, which is forbidden to use on Pumpkin Moon Night, and instead, she burns her pies. After failing to collect as much candy as Parsely, who stole extra candy by growing a second head he pretends is his friend, Hazel tries to beat him to choosing the biggest pumpkin. When Parsley wins that race too, Hazel breaks the taboo by enchanting her pumpkin with magic. It not only grows larger than expected, but gains arms and sentience. It befriends the plant-loving Posie, and is able to out-smart her in a game of tic tac toe. Its happy dancing and joyous laughter at experiencing the wonders of life is quickly doused by the Charmers force-feeding it butter, cinnamon, cloves, eggs, flour, milk, nutmeg and sugar until it dies. It explodes into slices of pumpkin pie. Too disgusted to consume it themselves, they feed the baked corpse of their murdered Jack-O-Lantern friend to their unaware family and friends, without informing them beforehand about the fate of victim they were eating. It turns out Parsley won the pumpkin race by enchanting his broom.
The Charmhouse won't let the girls in, so they ask the Enchantress what's up, but miss out on the important bits, and go to the Sparkle Tree to get Sparkle Glue until they figure out love is the answer.
