We’ll then encounter elves, demons, and dungeons in ‘A Kidnapped Santa Claus’ while witnessing two troubled couples attempt to give it all in ‘The Gift of the Magi’. Lastly, we’re all invited to ‘Christmas at Thompson Hall’ as one unsuspecting woman is forced to face the festive season with her long-lost ex-lover.
