When Woody and Milly go to sleep on Christmas Eve, magical things start to happen. Is that an elf the children can see? Are those reindeer bells they can hear? Surely it can’t really be Santa delivering presents?

An unforgettable adventure full of magic, mischief and festive fun awaits. See the wonder of Christmas unfold in this brand-new production for 3 to 8 year olds, featuring plenty of audience interaction, classic Christmas songs and of course the enchanting presence of Santa Claus himself live on stage.
