In this festive comedy show, Angelo finds himself on Santa’s naughty list and gets stuck reliving the day before Christmas over and over again, in a slighty silly and totally hilarious time loop. In order to escape and get to Christmas day, Angelo is going to need a team, a plan…and a friend who speaks elf!
Lionel Marty, Managing Director of APC Kids, said: “This fun Christmas special is a must-have for this holiday season. We are delighted that so many global broadcasters are already on board and look forward to more families around the world enjoying Angelo’s adventure with Santa.”
Corinne Kouper, SVP Production and Development at TeamTO, and Producer of the series, added, “We’ve had so much fun with this series over the years because of Angelo’s mischievous personality. In this hilarious episode Angelo learns from his mistakes and earns his presents. Viewers are immersed in Angelo’s never-ending dream and swept up in all his attempts to get out of it. We’re delighted that this film will bring Christmas joy to Angelo fans all over the world.”
