Twinkling with the Stars

Twinkling with the Stars is an animated children's television series. It is a prequel to The Kiddie Channel's preceding show, Twinkle, Twinkle, Time for Bed, focusing on host Nadella Sandecker, as an 8-year-old girl who lives with her family in an unexplained location. It premiered on January 29, 2023 on Kiddie Plus. This incarnation of Nadella was introduced by Jacinta Bowler in December 2022.

Plot and Hallmarks
Twinkling with the Stars follows the adventures of Nadella as an eight-year-old girl in an unknown city. Each adventure takes Nadella on new things to try with her best friend, Night Light. At the end, they both go to bed while knowing all about the adventure.

Also, similar to Twinkle, Twinkle, Time for Bed, the show frequently uses the same music-box theme song throughout each episode.
