Animal Planet’s hit series "Treehouse Masters" returns for its second season on Jan. 10, at 9 p.m.

I enjoy the show for its mix of fun and construction amid the trees. In the program, Pete Nelson leads his team of craftsmen to build bigger and better homes in the treetops. Animal Planet airs seven new episodes and an "Ultimate Treehouses II" special this winter and an additional 13 premieres this summer.

In the season premiere, Nelson builds one of his largest treehouses to date for a Pennsylvania family who are huge fans of the Indiana Jones movies. The treehouse pay homage to the spirit of the films and is an adventurous design complete with trap doors, rope bridges, living walls and secret entrances.

A pre-season special "Santa’s Workshop" will air on Animal Planet on Monday at 9 p.m.

"Just one day of Christmas cheer isn’t enough for a real-life Santa and Mrs. Claus, who celebrate the season 365 days a year in Southern California. Old St. Nick and the missus call on ‘Treehouse Masters’ to spruce up their yard with some holiday magic," Animal Planet said in a release.

Nelson creates a treehouse workshop complete with Santa’s red chair, a naughty-or-nice drawbridge, a secret elf trap door, a candy cane and holly access bridge and some miracle Christmas snow in the California desert.

"Treehouse Masters" is the cable outlet’s second-highest performing series, with 1.3 million viewers.

Nelson’s third book "Be in a Treehouse" will be available on March 25, 2014. The book is a comprehensive source of inspiration and practical information about treehouse design and construction, and features a number of the homes on "Treehouse Masters."
