The story beautiful unveils you through Mrs, Claus’ narration, how Mrs. Claus and two elves – Jingle and Jangle (love the names lol) had to convince the miser brothers to make it snow on South town to revive the Christmas spirit, to release Santa’s youngest reindeer, Vixen, and to let Santa know that he’s still loved and wanted which in turn makes him want to embark on his special Christmas journey yet again.
