Celebrate Christmas all year round with Nina, the littlest elf in Santa's workshop!
Nina doesn't finish the teddy bear she's making in time for it to get loaded onto Santa's sleigh but, encouraged by Santa Claus himself to not give up, she works far into the night. While Santa is out delivering presents, a baby is born. Santa comes back for Nina's bear-and guess who he takes along to deliver it?
