Everyone is getting ready for Christmas in NZ. Tinsel, pressies, ham and hangi pit – it’s all go. But then they hear the news. Santa has cancelled Christmas! WHAT!!??

Santa is OVER IT. Computer problems, lost keys, busy skies, rogue reindeer and sheer exhaustion has ‘sleighed’ Santa and he has called the whole thing off. Are we going to let him do that? No! Are we going to help Santa? Yes!

And so, a group of kiwi kids put their thinking caps on, work through the night, and solve Santa’s dilemmas. Not only is everyone’s Christmas saved across the world, these ingenious kids receive the best gift ever as a thank you from the jolly red man.
