An intriguing portal has appeared in the forest where Woodland Elves gather in excitement.

Grapevine, Lapland’s reporter Elf, has returned from his travels to Lapland with tales of the world he has witnessed beyond the portal. He comes with a newly printed edition of the Lapland Times, Lapland’s very own newspaper for the Human Folk to read before they step into the mysterious portal to make the same journey themselves.

The Travelmaster and Porter are Woodland Elves with the important task of guiding travellers, Elven or other, through the Enchanted Forest. They are excited that Human Folk will be travelling along their magical pathways but must first pass on some ancient Elven advice to set them on their way. The Small Folk receive a special Elven passport that permits them to travel along the secret Elven pathways and so the journey begins!

With Christmas drawing nearer and toys for Small Folk all over the world still needing to be finished, the Toy Factory Elves, Whittle, Conker and Wish are thrilled to welcome Small Folk to their workshop to help them with their toymaking. Indeed, the Small Folk prove to be so skilful, each one is awarded the distinction of becoming Honorary Elves by the Elf Council.

Wafting through the Lapland air is the smell of delicious gingerbread from Mother Christmas’ kitchen. Here the Small Folk will be warmly welcomed by Mother Christmas and her kitchen Elves to help decorate Father Christmas’ favourite treat before enjoying story time with Mother Christmas herself.

As the Human Folk journey deeper into the forest, they happen upon the Elven Village, a hive of joyous activity as the Village Elves prepare for Christmas!

Here, the Human Folk can send a letter to Father Christmas from Elva’s Post Office, ice-skate on the frozen pond, meet Father Christmas’ favourite huskies, refuel in Pumpernickel’s restaurant or Pixie Mixie’s sweetshop, enjoy a steaming hot chocolate and peruse beautiful festive decorations, toys and giftware in the Elf Emporium.

With Christmas Eve drawing ever nearer, Father Christmas’ reindeer are resting in their stable and prepared for their magical journey by Glow the Elf, Little Rudi’s dearest friend.

Lapland’s Elfsmith, Ambolt, and his apprentice Tinker are busy at work in their forge smelting the Elves’ golden bells and Jingle coins. Most important of all, is Father Christmas’ marvellous sleigh that Ambolt must frantically finish varnishing before it takes flight!

The oldest and wisest of all the Lapland Elves, Compass the Elf is the pathfinder who carefully plots Father Christmas route each Christmas Eve. She is deep in thought, poring over astrological charts and maps as she prepares for this Christmas Eve, but always has time to greet the Human Folk as they pass through her study on their way to meet Father Christmas.

Excitement builds as an enchanting wood cabin is glimpsed behind snow-covered trees. The door swings open and the Human Folk are greeted by the warmest of welcomes. It’s Father Christmas himself! Reflected in the gentle glow of the fire, the Small Folk’s eyes will widen in amazement by how well Father Christmas knows all about them and by seeing their very own name on his Good List. So pleased with the help his Elves have received, Father Christmas presents the Small Folk with a special golden bell, plus, a special gift to take home and love – a beautiful soft husky puppy toy from Father Christmas’ Husky Hero sled team.

There’s more magic in the air on Christmas morning when Small Folk find their gifts under the tree. To their joy, they find a postcard from Father Christmas thanking them for coming to Lapland to help the Elves finish making all the toys in time for Christmas, and with it, the very same toy they helped the Elves make in the Toy Factory. Father Christmas and the Elves agreed they had truly deserved to keep it to love forever.
