Becoming Santa Claus is an enchanting holiday tale about young Prince Claus, who hails from an Elven realm in the far north. The son of a powerful Queen sorceress and a vanished King, Claus hopes his uncles—the Three Kings of Christmas legend—will attend his glittering 13th birthday. Instead, they send regrets and gifts for a mysterious newborn child. Feeling rejected, Claus recruits his Elves to create spectacular toys in an attempt to outshine the Kings and exact revenge. However, things take an unexpected turn in this captivating story filled with magic, wonder, and heartwarming lessons.
