Christmas is on the horizon, and it looks like it’s going to be the best one yet for Niko the reindeer, whose biggest dream is to become a member of Santa’s flying forces. But then a new challenger appears, and worse, Santa’s sleigh is stolen. Now it’s up to Niko and his friends to venture into the frozen North on a daring mission to save the holidays.
