    The real secret

    In the end, it’s the children who teach Jack and Sally the truth: Christmas magic isn’t about potions at all. It comes from within. Together with the children’s joy and belief, real Christmas magic takes hold, and everyone creates toys and gifts for all.

This is a wholesome Halloween adventure made for children. The mood is playful and just a little spooky, and the heart of the story is the magic of Christmas, with your children as the heroes who save it.
