Who doesn’t want Christmas to last forever? Well, the tree ornaments certainly do and they plan on escaping their storage boxes for a year-round Christmas at the North Pole! But a surprise guest disrupts their grand escape, teaching them that perhaps family is the true magic of the holiday. The spirit of Christmas lasts all year long… unless you are an ornament, stuck in a dusty box in the closet 11 months out of the year! This December 26th, it’s gonna be different. The ornaments know of a place where they can be free to sparkle, where life is a 24-hour, 365-day Christmas buffet …the North Pole! But when the family cat gets involved, their plan hits a snag. And soon the ornaments come to realize that togetherness is the best gift, and it can’t be Christmas forever without family.
