It stars Rein Hofman as Ontbijtpiet, Eva van der Gucht as Smulpiet and Bram van der Vlugt as Santa aka Saint Nicholas.^[1] The show was made to encourage children to eat breakfast.^[2] In total, around 28 episodes are made.

As of now, all of the episodes are lost. Given the fierce controversy that has since erupted surrounding the characters' portrayal - as is traditional for Zwarte Piet - by white actors in blackface, they are not likely to resurface in any official format.
