Another week and Sinterklaas will arrive in the Netherlands again. In The Sinterklaas news, which starts on Monday, viewers are already getting warmed up for December 5. What do we already know about the new series?
The Sinterklaas news has a scoop. For the first time in the history of the festive news bulletin – which has been in existence since 2001 – a preview and post-review are being made. In Speculasies comedian Thomas van Luyn discusses all Saint’s Day updates with children, adults and experts.
The program can be seen on Saturday, November 11 at 5:45 PM and on November 18, 25 and December 2 at 6:10 PM on NPO Zapp, immediately after The Sinterklaas news. The Grote Pietenhuisband provides the music.
Daily broadcasts will begin on Monday, November 13 The Sinterklaas news. We can follow the preparations of Saint Nicholas and his helpers. If the trend of recent years is followed, we can assume that something is going wrong with It Big Book of Sinterklaasthe presents and/or the steamboat.
For example, the parcels were mistakenly distributed around the world last year, after Parcel Boat 12 sank to the bottom due to a leak. But regular viewers know: it always works out in the end. For example, Pakjesboot 12 has now been replaced by De Stoomboot.
Current events are also discussed in the broadcasts. Major news matters – such as the rise of the BBB or the corona crisis – do not go undiscussed in the universe of Sinterklaas. But, given the young viewership, always with a playful and friendly twist. “Every day is exciting about what comes to us and what will happen,” says Sinterklaas newspresenter Dieuwertje Blok about it.

After the first five Sinterklaas newsreels, the arrival will take place on Saturday, November 18. This time it will be organized in Gorinchem (South Holland). The municipality expects around 20,000 visitors. Since last year, after two public-free corona years, people have been welcome again to welcome Saint Nicholas.
The parcel boat will moor at the jetty on the quay of Buiten de Waterpoort on Saturday at 12 noon. Together with freerunners, dance groups and gymnastics clubs from Gorinchem, Saint Nicholas walks through the city center with his soot sweeper. A historic fire engine is pulled by horses. There are stages along the route where local associations dance and perform music.
As with previous editions, NTR, the broadcaster that broadcasts the Sinterklaas news, keeps details about the progress of the arrival secret. It is certain that Dieuwertje Blok will present the arrival, just like the newsreels, from the studio.
Jeroen Kramer, who has closely followed Sinterklaas and the Piets since 2007, once again reports on the event. He is assisted by Rachel Roster, who has been keeping viewers informed of all events during the arrival since 2019.
The Sinterklaas news can be seen every evening from Monday, November 13 at 6:00 PM on NPO3 at NPO Zapp.
