When the Winter Witch casts a snowy spell on Christmas Eve to stop Santa from delivering presents, one brave young girl sets out on a quest to save the holiday. Along the way, she gathers a magical team of friends, including a flying reindeer and Santa himself. Filled with sing-alongs of favorite holiday songs, this heartwarming family adventure celebrates the power of love and generosity.

Families are encouraged to wear casual holiday attire. After the program, there may be an opportunity for photos, so bring your smiles and holiday cheer!

Join us at a special Homeschool Hangout featuring a new interactive work co-produced by Brave Little Company and Stages!

You have a role to play in this wild winter adventure! On the darkest night of the year, children must beware the Snow Queen – and when a boy vanishes from his village, his best friend is the only one who can rescue him. And she needs your help on her quest to stop the Snow Queen! You’ll help our heroine decide what happens next, join in the song, and bring the best friends back together. 

Join us as we share our love for the Switch by playing games together and forming new friendships. We will provide the switch and controllers for you to play with or bring your personal device!
