The story centers on Isabella and her father, who have read "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" together for years. However, this year Isabella feels like she's too old for the tradition, until the poem comes to life, and she and her father are separated by a blizzard that sends them on an amazing adventure. Cue the whimsical Cirque du Soleil theatrics that audiences adore!
