The story so far
Everything you need before watchingMrs. Claus watches Kate and Jack lose themselves in the village and cannot bear to send them home hungry, so dinner becomes the excuse to stay. The feast looks like dessert and tastes like vegetables in disguise. Kate tries to turn a True Believer miracle into a North Pole job, because home means her mother and a boyfriend. Santa grants one night. Cut away: Belsnickel punishes Mina for spying and tells Speck to fetch the rest of his toys. By morning the village should be only a memory.
