Christmas is coming and Santa Claus enjoys the festive season, however the evil witch Scylla decided to mess everything in his small, cozy village to spoil Santa's Christmas mood. To deal with the situation, Santa calls for help Scylla's number one enemy: the troll Hugo!
Now, Hugo needs to restore everything to the right state so Santa can get back into the Christmas spirit in time. Hugo likes to read stories, so Santa reads him a chapter from his Advent book every day. In the end, after Hugo removes the spell Scylla cast on the village, the final task awaits him as now will fight the witch herself.

The game is a collection of simple minigames. They are mostly original scenarios of puzzle kind, but also include the action-style Sleigh and Snowboard stages from the classic games, as well as the boss-fight endgame Snowballs.
