Your Family’s Christmas Special
The moments, roles, replies and traditions you create across the season, gathered into one thing worth keeping.
- Your family’s story
- Real moments
- Magical storytelling
- Something to keep
Where it stands today
The Special is not built and is not for sale. There is no price, no date and no way to buy it on this page. What exists today is the part everything else depends on: your family’s record, which is already being kept.
From your moments to a film

Your Family’s Story So Far
- Roles accepted0
- Sleigh Shift loads0
- Daily Alibis0
- Court cases0
- Entries in your log0
- Moments in all0
Every one of these is something your household actually did. Nothing here is a target.
What a finished one would contain
- The film itselfWatched privately, at home.
- Santa and the North Pole castWith your roles, cases and incidents in it.
- A twelve-page programmeSeparate from the annual Record.
- Three stillsEach one chosen by an adult.
None of it exists yet. No price, no date, nothing to buy — and the length is an ambition of roughly eight to ten minutes rather than a promise, because no finished film has been measured.
What it would be made of
Four acts, and your household’s own material in them. Nothing yet — it starts the first time somebody does something.
Who everybody turned out to be
Appoint somebody, and see what they do about it.
What you played
Answer a day's alibi, or solve the puzzle together.
What was settled
Sit a case in the North Pole Court and vote on it.
Who was there
Add the people who are in this Christmas.
The seven scenes, written
Every scene is authored in two tones — more mischief, or more wonder — and a family would choose one for the whole film. None of them has been filmed. What follows is the writing, not a description of a film that exists.
Scene 1 · SantaThe Doors OpenA familiar room, a little light, and a story with room for you. You need not arrive with a grand entrance. Sometimes the best beginning is simply being here.
Scene 2 · Mabel QuillYou’ve Been CastA production is made of people, and every name has a place. There is no need for everyone to play the same part. The cast is richer for the different ways you choose to join it.
Scene 3 · Pip SnowThe Matter Before the North PoleOne person offers a line. Another may answer. A small exchange can give a story somewhere new to go. Let us leave enough space to hear what was actually chosen.
Scene 4 · Juniper BellA Small SpectacularSome stories move quickly. Others take a quieter route. A result can be interesting without measuring one person against another. Here is one small part of the story you chose to keep.
Scene 5 · SantaOur Kind of ChristmasThe quieter details often stay with us. A little light. A story returned to. A place made ready. You chose the feeling of this chapter, and there is no need to make it larger than it is.
Scene 6 · SantaThe Last LineSome moments are small enough to pass without a grand announcement. A line offered. A choice made. A little space for someone else. The story you have chosen is here now, ready to return to. Let us keep the good bits.
Scene 7Credits & EncoreEqual-sized cast credits, discreet Santa’s Notes mark and optional silent Bramble bow before the final held title. No loud joke or commercial CTA.
A film we have actually made
This is not the Family Special. It is the personalized Santa film — one child, one film, made the way everything here is made. It is the standard the Special would have to meet.
