Seven-year-old Lois Jean, the zookeeper’s daughter, is especially excited—she’s counting on Bella's arrival to shift her father's attention back to his family in time for the holidays. When the unexpected happens, there is only one person who can prevent tragedy. Will Santa arrive in time? A heartwarming musical adventure for the whole family!
