Herbie is all set for Christmas, dressed as Santa and full of cheer. But a regrettable mistake casts a shadow over his holiday spirit. As guilt weighs heavy, Herbie must find the courage to confess to Lottie. Will he manage to mend the festive mood and learn the power of an apology? Join Herbie on a heartfelt journey of mistakes, forgiveness, and the true spirit of the holidays.
