A perfect addition to any child’s annual holiday traditions.
Quinn, an adventurous snow fairy, overhears a pair of squabbling elves. The elves, Rusty and Fudge, are worried about which of them lost Santa’s wish list. Eager to help, Quinn takes the rueful elves to retrace their steps in the hopes of tracking down the list. A clue is found in an ominously large footprint, which leads the trio into the scary mountains. Despite the warning signs, Quinn presses on and finds a beautiful icy house in the middle of the forest. Filled with optimism and fueled by curiosity, Quinn boldly and courageously knocks on the door. A reclusive Yeti answers the door and admits to having taken the list, although it is clear that he feels bad. What transpires from that point is a beautiful example of the power of kindness and friendship.
