**THE STORY**

On Christmas Eve, a little toy train comes to life, circles the tree three times, and drops a golden ticket. The message reads, “Two special helpers are needed at the North Pole!”

Your child and their pet climb aboard and travel to Santa’s workshop, where the gift-wrapping machine is sending ribbons and presents flying. With midnight fast approaching, they follow a trail of red ribbon, enlist the help of the elves, and come up with a clever plan to get every present onto Santa’s sleigh in time.
