Following last year’s sell-out performances of Santa’s Christmas Wish,

“It really is the most wonderful time of the year, so it’s no surprise that
everyone at the North Pole is super-excited as Christmas draws near!
Father Christmas is busy making toys, Dotty the Elf is decorating the Christmas tree and Dasher the Reindeer is getting presents onto his sleigh -
but then they meet a lost penguin who has never even heard of Christmas…
Impossible! But how to teach him all about Christmas?
Dare they open the door marked For Christmas Emergencies Only?
And can you help unleash the magic of Christmas
by pulling one of Santa’s Christmas Crackers?”
