"This is our homage to the classic Christmas film. It stands alone as a plot but has all your favourite characters in a very extraordinary situation. It is a very ambitious concept, but we are beyond thrilled with how it has come out. In fact, I actually cannot wait for all our wonderful fans to watch it. A very Merry Christmas from all of us in Ste. Victoire.”
