Jingle Tingle Spirits! It's time to get jingly tingly with a magical and heart-warming Christmas performance the whole family can enjoy!
Rory is a little boy who has lost his Christmas Spirit, and the quota of festive feeling for Planet Earth is too low. Join the three Christmas Spirits and their Snooflets in the kaleidoscopic world of Betwixtmass, as they whip up a bit of magic for their Crystalarium. Can you help them save Christmas?
