Synopsis

Waiting in line to meet Santa is the best part of Christmas! A hilarious and relatable festive family story.

'Only 702 more elf-steps until Santa!' says Ren. 'I need a coffee,' says Mum. 'I need a phone charger,' says Dad. 'I need the bathroom!' says Harry. 'MEOOOOWWWWWW,' says Moloko.

Having your photo taken with Santa is one of the best things about Christmas! But what if the line is looooong, you only have little legs, and you aren't good at waiting?

Luckily it's Christmas time, and there is magic in the air! You might just end up with the best family photo you've ever had.

A warm and funny celebration of a favourite festive tradition for so many families.
