Following on from the hugely successful Pictures of Christmas, this Christmas tableau brings us carols from around the world as we follow the exploits of one of Santas elves, who has become separated from Santa and his team whilst delivering on Christmas Eve. He is befriended by some children who promise to help. Aided with a toboggan and some magic dust, they set off in chase of Santa, but always arrive too late. Travelling to Europe, Australia, Central America, the Caribbean etc they see people celebrate Christmas in their customary ways and songs. Eventually he is reunited with Santa in time to celebrate Christmas.
