Letters to Santa don't always reach the North Pole. A seven-year-old boy writes to Santa, not for toys, but for something far more selfless: a gift for his mother and, if possible, a ride in the sleigh. The letter is short, heartfelt, and tucked into an envelope addressed simply to Santa Claus, North Pole. It is sealed, stamped, and mailed. That should've been the end of it. The letter is read. By a mother, who cries. By a network, hidden behind screens. By someone who hasn't believed in magic for a very long time... and someone else who never stopped believing.

Produktbeschreibung
Letters to Santa don't always reach the North Pole. A seven-year-old boy writes to Santa, not for toys, but for something far more selfless: a gift for his mother and, if possible, a ride in the sleigh. The letter is short, heartfelt, and tucked into an envelope addressed simply to Santa Claus, North Pole. It is sealed, stamped, and mailed. That should've been the end of it. The letter is read. By a mother, who cries. By a network, hidden behind screens. By someone who hasn't believed in magic for a very long time... and someone else who never stopped believing. Now, a brilliant but broken girl named Kandi and her widowed father are swept away on an all-expenses-paid Christmas vacation to a tropical island where ornaments float and holograms entertain. There's no phone service. No guests. Their host is mysterious and reclusive, seen walking the island in a heavy cloak. It's clear she loves Christmas. Maybe a little too much. As temperatures rise and technology misbehaves, it becomes clear this is no ordinary vacation. At the center of the island is a secret tower, and at the heart of the mystery, a famous Christmas figure-the most famous of all-is waking up, dazed and confused as to where he is and how he got there. The island's host has big plans for him. Plans that will change Christmas forever. Claus: Rise of the Miser is a bold and surreal holiday adventure filled with illusions, secrets, and sentient machines. At the heart of it all is a girl searching for answers, and a mother searching for redemption. Christmas spirit isn't dead. It's being repackaged.
