Synopsis:
Christmas is approaching in a small town on the Suffolk coast, but not everyone embraces the festive spirit. There’s young Danny, who is still trying to adjust to his new home and school, and whose mum works long hours in the local hospital. He lives over the road from Miss Trapper, his formidable schoolteacher, who seems intent on spoiling everyone’s fun. When a series of events disrupt many of the townspeople’s Christmas plans, it seems only a miracle can make everything right in time. Curtis adapts his three Yuletide family stories with the help of London’s Locksmith Animation (Ron’s Gone Wrong) to create this funny, moving and joyful comedy drama.
