WHAT
A middle-school mystery-comedy where a team of young “holiday detectives” is hired to investigate why the Christmas spirit is mysteriously fading. Their investigation takes them through interviews with shepherds, wise men, confused ornaments, North Pole elves, and even a Charles Dickens character. Each scene brings clues, laughs, and surprising wisdom that eventually lead them back to the manger of Jesus.
THEME
True Christmas spirit isn’t found in presents, decorations, or traditions — it is found in Jesus Christ.
