Cat’s Christmas

Spot’s Night Before Christmas

A fun twist on the classic Christmas pageant. Isabella dreams of being the angel with the sparkly halo, but she gets cast as… the drummer. She ends up learning that the role still carries heart and purpose. Light humor, a gentle Christian message, and kid-friendly warmth throughout.


Mr. Willowby’s Head Over Heels Christmas


Animals in winter clothes ride a Christmas tree down a snowy hill. A man flips mid-air. Title: MR. WILLOWBY'S Head Over Heels CHRISTMAS.
