A Superhero Christmas

A funny, high-energy Christmas skit where six kid-friendly superheroes misunderstand their mission and set out to “save Christmas,” believing it’s in danger. Through comedy, chaos, and an encounter with an older child dressed as Father Christmas, they discover the real meaning of Christmas: Jesus, the Savior born in Bethlehem.
