Thank you to Anchor Bay Entertainment for providing the prize and samples for this blog post.
Growing up we had quite a few different family traditions. One of them of course was trimming the tree. I loved trimming the tree night. We got to have eggnog and it was so delicious. We also had cookies, lit candles and fought over who got to put up the angel on the tree. Another tradition we had was watching holiday movies with each other. I LOVED doing this, I fondly remember sitting on the couch together. We’re partnering with Anchor Bay Entertainment to help you have a fond memory of a holiday Family Movie Night. We have the perfect animated tales filled with holiday magic for the whole family – great for holiday gift giving. They are Santa’s Apprentice and The Magic Snowflake featuring 16 festive holiday decals in-pack. Which is super cool!.
My kids love decals.
About the films
In Santa’s Apprentice, starring Julie Gayet (My Best Friend, Select Hotel), Jean-Pierre Marielle (The Da Vinci Code), Max Cullen (The Great Gatsby, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Australia), Gabe Eggerling (The Kicks, “Jake and the Never Land Pirates”), Santa doesn’t want to retire, but rules are rules and he must train someone to replace him. The lucky winner, to be chosen from among millions of children, must be named Nicholas, be an orphan and have a pure heart. On the other side of the planet, there is a little boy who is a perfect match, but his lack of self-confidence and fear of heights make him a poor contestant. Will Santa agree to step down, and help his apprentice take his place?
In the sequel to Santa’s Apprentice, The Magic Snowflake, starring Vincent Grass (The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Ernest & Celestine), Nathan Simony (Santa’s Apprentice, “Merlin”), the new Santa is a seven year-old boy. As Nicholas contracts the illness of those who want to grow up too fast: Grown-up-itis, The Council of Retired Santas is forced to relieve him of his duties and appoint an experienced Santa who will be able to manage the delivery in time. To get his job back, Nicholas must regain the innocence, freshness and carefree attitude of his childhood.
