The story so far
Everything you need before watchingAn empty workshop. Belsnickel watches old footage of the kids who once trusted him. Kate and Teddy were the first humans he ever believed in; now he says they ruined everything. His elf Speck sneaks up with news: five days until Christmas. On tape, Kate calls herself a True Believer. Belsnickel smiles. He is about to change all of that. Track her down. Then the film cuts to Santa on a beach, as if the hunt has already left the North Pole.
