As the sun slowly goes down, the new family starts singing Dough's favorite song, O Christmas Tree.
...one year later
Chief elf tells Santa that almost all the elves got a human disease. At first it just looked like a cold but in the next couple of months it got worse and worse.
I think it's called Covid-9 or something... Oh right, Covid-19.
I know someone who might help, do you remember the Pierce family?
How could I forget, those true believers saved Christmas, twice!
Lets go and see an old friend. Set the fastest course to Lowell, Massachusettes.
Hi Santa. I am happy to see you but isn't this your busiest time of the year?
Hey kiddo. How's it been?
You see Kate, since you and Jack came to the north pole last year, we have been infested by a disease called Covid.. something.
We have been dealing with coronavirus for a while now. My mother could help us with the situation.
Hi mom. I know that this might sound wired, but there is an issue at the north pole and we need your help.
Hi Kate, what are you doing here?
On Christmas Eve of three years ago while you were working late, Teddy and I tried to catch Santa on camera and one thing lead to another and we got to the north pole.
What are you talking about?
That's true! Last year when Kate and Jack came up north they brought a very contagious virus with them. Do you think you could help us?
It's Covid mom.
Yes no problem. What virus are we talking about?
Santa, Kate and Claire go to the north pole with a load of covid tests, masks and vaccines.
I have to admit it's pretty chilly here. Do you know where I can find Ms. Claus?
Oh sorry. Nice to meet you by the way. I'm Kates' mom. Santa asked me to help with the Omicron situation. I have some vaccines, but I think we may have to change them slightly so that the elves' immune system does not reject it.
You are talking to her.
While Claire and Ms. Clause were adapting the vaccine, Santa and Kate went to look for a particular plant that would kill the virus one and for all.
Unfortunately Santa and Kate were not able to find the Curus Erbalis so they returned home. Now all hope relied in Ms. Clause and Claire's collaboration.
