Five enchanting, snowswept stories about all things Christmas. Santa Claus himself will be there, as well as a host of wonderfully cute animals.

What if Santa’s house were to swim away? Or a little chick had to stand in for the sick rooster? What if the animals in the forest could no longer find a Christmas tree because the humans cut them all down? Or you came across a mysterious tanuki in the wintery woods? And how would a little lynx avoid all the dangers to get to the animals’ big Christmas party? But above all: what would the party look like? All of this and much more you will discover in these five lovingly conceived, wonderfully heartwarming and funny animated stories. An amazing time for our youngest viewers and certainly the cutest movie of the year.
