Somewhere in Turkey, circa 330 AD: When kind-hearted bishop Nicholas stumbles upon a sad girl, and gives her an object he has carved out of wood to brighten her mood. And seeing the change he has made in her, she decides to brighten the mood of all children far and wide with his wood-carven toys - which is a much more draining task than he first thought, so after a while he and his trusted horse are pretty much out of steam. But then they reach the North Pole and make a discovery that's bound to change their (and everyone else's) lives ...

Basically, this is a really cute Christmas story, one that easily brings across its plot without any dialogue or narration, and one that's heavy on atmosphere, with art that has an unmistakably picture-book quality to it, and the somewhat limited animation only matches that feel. And this look only helps the short to exude a certain kind of magic that just goes really well with the topic of the movie and that's bound to touch even Christmas-cynics among the audience.
