The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe fight is over, but Belsnickel still talks like a war is coming: you won the battle, not the war. Santa does not trade threats. He hands over the first toy they ever built together, and waits. Kate steps in with the speech this scene is built for—running away does not fix your life, and Christmas is about who you are with. Watch a villain get talked home without anyone raising a voice.
