"'Once Upon a Christmas Song'" is a Christmas single, and the second single to be released by fictional character Geraldine McQueen. It was co-written by Gary Barlow and Peter Kay who plays the character, originating from a parody talent show called 'Britain's Got the Pop Factor...'. The song was a major success, reaching number 5 in the Official Charts for the United Kingdom. The CD was released on 15 December 2008, with the download available a day earlier and the proceeds going to the NSPCC, a British charity working and campaigning on child protection.[http://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/3976541.Will_Geraldine_be_our_number_one_/ Will Peter Kay's Geraldine be Christmas Number One?] The Bolton News, 15 December 2008
