Auntie Claus

Auntie Claus

Auntie Claus lives high atop the Bing Cherry Hotel – in Penthouse 25C, of course! Her penthouse glitters with Christmas lights all year long and she serves Christmas cookies at teatime – even in July. That’s Auntie Claus…so mysterioso!

This year, when it’s getting close to Christmas and Auntie Claus prepares to head off to her annual business trip, young Sophie Kringle decides to find out the truth: “Who is my Auntie Claus, really?”

Come along with Sophie to a faraway world that leads straight to the heart of Christmas. Oh and don’t forget your mittens!
