The ballet begins in Santa’s workshop with his busy elves preparing for Christmas. Santa is presented with a special gift at midnight; a new “motorized” sleigh! The reindeer are excited to spend Christmas Eve with their families this year! Santa takes off and is just about finished with his Christmas Eve deliveries when he flies over New Orleans and lands in Louisiana Swamp Land. Little does he know that he is being watched by a devious Swamp Witch named Marie Laveau. She steals his new sleigh thinking it is a magic sleigh and Santa finds himself stranded in the swamp. As the story unfolds, Santa discovers many friends that help him finish his deliveries. Alligators “tango” their way into Santa’s heart, Lightning Bugs lead Santa to the Swamp Witch, Moby the crawfish gathers his friends to help, as the beautiful moon beams shine brightly in the night. In the end, the Swamp Witch has a change of heart when Santa explains THE REAL MAGIC OF CHRISTMAS IS THROUGH FAITH, BELIEVING, LOVE, AND FRIENDSHIP. The performance includes state-of-the-art sets and scenery and breathtaking special effects that make this show a next level event.
