Christmas is in danger when Santa Claus's long-lost evil brother, Claws, escapes from prison after years of plotting revenge. Bitter that Santa became the beloved face of Christmas while he was forgotten, Claws hatches a wicked plan: kidnap Santa, take over the North Pole, and destroy Christmas forever! With Santa missing and presents piling up, panic spreads across the world. It's up to a brave group of heroes—including Santa's cheeky elf, a lovable comic fairy, and a sassy reindeer - to track down Claws and save Christmas before it's too late. Packed with magical mishaps, laugh-out-loud comedy, audience participation, and plenty of festive fun, this family pantomime follows the race to rescue Santa and stop Claws’ evil scheme. Will good triumph over evil? Can Christmas be saved? There's only one way to find out—oh yes there is!
