When the Brown family takes Paddington to the seaside, a sudden storm threatens to spoil their fun. Seeking shelter in an ice cream parlour, Paddington is captivated by a colourful dessert called a Knickerbocker Glory. Determined to order one, he amusingly struggles to pronounce its name. Once he succeeds, he's rewarded with the towering treat. As the sun re-emerges, a vibrant rainbow appears, mirroring his dessert. Inspired, Paddington makes a heartfelt wish, hoping for a Knickerbocker Glory every day.
