Crazy Christmas Catastrophe
In Christmas Village, tucked away deep inside of the North Pole, preparations for Christmas happen 364 days per year. Each year, the coveted Christmas Icon award is bestowed upon the hardest working and most effective holiday helper as well as the upcoming Christmas legend. Most of the time, the award is granted to a toy shop elf, but this year, it is rumored to be between none other than Icy the Snowman and the Gingerbread Man. However, expect the unexpected, as anybody in the town is a potential winner. The recipient of this award will receive a cash bonus and special privileges such as a year’s supply of chestnuts, an added vacation day during the year, the power to change one law of Christmas, and a guaranteed spot in the legendary Claus Hall of Fame.
The big night of toy delivery is quickly approaching, and the townspeople are hustling and bustling. Silver bells are ringing, and eggnog and sugar plums are bountiful. Mrs. Claus has invited everybody in town to Santa’s Cottage for a quick celebration and official announcement of the Christmas Icon of the Year award. The excited townspeople are practicing their carols and preparing their most holiday-spirited attire for this annual festivity. Anticipation is hanging thick in the frosted air. Unfortunately, there is always some holiday strife between colleagues this time of year. Still, hopefully, the townsfolk of Christmas Village can let the year's bygones be bygones and show nothing but their best Christmas cheer – at least for the sake of the children on the nice list.
You are a resident of the North Pole and were invited to this event by Mrs. Claus. You’d rather not be in the same room with a few Christmas personalities, but everybody must do what Mrs. Claus wants, or they will pay the price. You never know – you might even win the Christmas Icon award this year, as stranger things have happened in the North Pole!
This is where your story begins.

Guest List
​
ICY
Snowman
Icy is the carefree and fun-loving snowman of Christmas Village. A true friend to all the reindeer, Icy hopes to leave the North Pole one day to become a pop star! This frosty individual is a close talker, so grab a jacket when you speak to Icy—it’s going to be chilly!
Suggested attire: all-white clothing, face painted white with a top hat, red scarf, and pipe or a snowman costume. Optional: fake carrot as a nose. Bring some breath mints if you choose to implement your character's quirk of close-talking.
​
GINGERBREAD MAN
Head Gingerbread Cookie
The Gingerbread Man is the wacky head gingerbread cookie of Christmas Village. S/he is known to be a tad narcissistic and believes that every North Pole resident wishes they were a gingerbread cookie.
Suggested attire: all khaki-colored clothing. White wig. Use felt for the icing stripes on the wrist, belt, and ankles. Attach pom-poms for the front buttons (you can get these at any craft store). Or a gingerbread man costume.
​
DASHER
Head Reindeer
Dasher is the ruthless head reindeer of the sled team and resident advisor of the stables. Dasher is certainly not known for good manners and is anything but prim and proper. However, Dasher leads the sled team with care and vigor, and they’ve never failed during the big Christmas delivery . . . yet!
Suggested attire: all brown clothing with a white undershirt, a face painted like a reindeer, an antler headband, or a reindeer costume.

Suggested attire: incorporate anything and everything Christmas-related (e.g., ornaments, holiday cards, tinsel, garland, etc.) into your costume.
​
​
MITZY THE ELF
Director of Toy Production
Mitzy the Elf is the beautiful micro-managing Director of Toy Production at Santa’s Toy Shop in Christmas Village. She runs a tight ship at the factory and is known to be a tad inflexible at times. This is one elf that you shouldn’t double-cross if you don’t want to pay the price.
Suggested attire: elf costume. Glamorous hair and makeup.
​
MRS. SANTA CLAUS
Mother of Christmas
Everyone in Christmas Village knows that it’s really Mrs. Claus who runs Christmas! A tad neurotic and a holiday trend-setter, this Mother of Christmas is highly organized and refuses to take no for an answer. She is definitely uncompromising—especially during the Holiday season!
Suggested attire: a trendy Mrs. Santa Claus costume.
​
FIONA
Christmas Fairy
Fiona the Christmas Fairy is one of the most playful residents of Christmas Village. She loves to tell funny holiday-spirited jokes to whoever will listen and spreads Christmas cheer using her magical fairy sparkles.
Christmas fairy costume. Optional to have silver confetti as ‘fairy sparkles.’
Suggested attire: Christmas-inspired fairy costume (e.g., Tinkerbell costume with a Santa hat). Spread cheer by placing a pinch of confetti into the palms of others—but don't blow it everywhere and make a mess!
​
ELDERBERRY
Head Toy Maker
Elderberry the Elf is the head toymaker and hardest-working elf in Christmas Village. Elderberry is under a lot of stress lately, due to not releasing a new toy in years! This elf's a bit of a whiner, so keep some tissues handy for this drama conjurer.
Suggested attire: elf costume. Any toy(s) as optional props.
EDDIE
Santa’s Bag Engineer
Eddie is the wild and crazy elf of Christmas Village. Eddie and the bag crew load Santa’s bag for the toy run on Christmas Eve. It takes much skill and a little magic to get Santa’s bag packed just right.
Suggested attire: crazy elf costume.
​
​
SANTA CLAUS
Father of Christmas
The legendary Santa Claus, with his rosy cheeks, full belly, and jovial spirit, is the one to be around during the holidays. He is happy-go-lucky and impervious to the holiday stress. He follows the same routine each year – depending upon those who prepare all year for the big delivery night.
Suggested attire: Santa Claus costume.
RITA THE ‘REINDEER’
Rita the Wannabe Reindeer
Rita, the wannabe reindeer, is the prim and proper nuisance of Christmas Village. You'll definitely be corrected if you do not use proper manners around Rita. However, Rita has etiquette issues of her own, as she insists she is a reindeer and not a human. Everybody in Christmas Village sees that she’s a human in reindeer clothing – she definitely isn’t fooling anybody!
Suggested attire: Wear a minimal reindeer costume, such as a big red foam nose and antlers. The rest of your attire should be very human, such as any Christmas sweater.
​
SAMMY CLAUS
Daughter of Christmas
Sammy Claus is the out-of-control daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus. She often starts snowball fights, turns the ovens up in the gingerbread factory, and switches the reindeer food with penguin food. Her parents do everything possible to keep her out of trouble but have found it difficult this holiday season.
Suggested attire: youthful Mrs. Santa Claus costume.
