Everything I love about Christmas. A terrible snowstorm blankets the countryside on Christmas Eve leaving 17 year old Susan Barnes stranded in a bus station with no way to get home for the holidays. But Christmas miracles do happen. When her mother gives their family’s Christmas dinner to a less fortunate neighbour, her act of kindness sets off a chain of events to come to Susan’s rescue. Add a witty Santa and his mischievous elves to the plan and it’s a musical and magical Yuletide adventure for the whole family.
