A magical Christmas tale…
you’ll want to savor again and again.
When Santa goes on vacation, a mug of cocoa accidentally brings a man made of cocoa, light and pure Christmas magic.
The elves call him Hot Chocolate Santa: shy, sweet, and brimming with marshmallow-fueled creativity. But not everyone at the North Pole is convinced he’s the real deal. When a crisis strikes, Hot Chocolate Santa must prove that being Santa isn’t about tradition—it’s about courage, kindness, and bringing comfort where it’s needed most.
Full of laughter, wonder, and cocoa-fueled holiday spirit.
