About
Christmas is under threat! Santa has got caught in a blizzard, he has lost all the presents and cannot find his way home. Only you can save Christmas.
To help Santa find his house, you need to light the lights on the biggest Christmas tree in the forest.

Find out why the magic elves refuse to work and the presents are not getting to the children.
Hurry up to revive the first Christmas tree along with Santa’s best reindeer!
