A magical train ride on Christmas Eve takes a boy to the North Pole to receive a special gift from Santa Claus.

""Under Spark Elf's direction, Santa delivers presents in the allotted twenty-four hours only to arrive at the North Pole with a stowaway in the toy bag, a family's beloved dog"--

"Nikolas, the boy who would one day be known as Santa Claus, goes on a life-changing quest to the North Pole"--

Grumpy and cold when his forest friends insist he stay awake to celebrate Christmas, Bruce the bear, wearing his long underwear and warm hat, is mistaken for Santa by the youngest forest creatures.

Amelia Wishart's Christmas spirit helped Santa get the extra boost of magic he needed to make his first trip around the world. When she's sent to the workhouse, now-orphaned Amelia's hope begins to drain away. Santa sets out to find her with the help of his reindeer, a curious cat, and Charles Dickens.
