The Plot
It's Christmas Eve, and Santa's workshop is abuzz with preparations for the big day. Assisted by his Head Elves, Jingle and Jangle, Mr Claus is hoping to pull off another perfect Christmas. The fairies are polishing baubles. The bakers are preparing Christmas cakes. The elves are crafting toys to the very highest of standards. The nutcrackers are wrapping gifts. The reindeer are preparing for the long journey ahead! Will the festivities go without a hitch? Or will Foxy Frost's Christmas capers put paid to the whole Christmas operation!?
