Now, here's the festive twist: Jack and Annie aren't just visiting Camelot for the eggnog; they're on a mission to restore the holiday spirit to Camelot and unlock the magic that will guide them on their quest. But hang your stockings by the chimney with care, because the real challenge? It's not just dodging mistletoe and outwitting mischievous elves who are as jolly as Santa on Christmas Eve! Nope, the problem for our holiday heroes is collecting four essential gifts to fulfill their quest before they're left as puzzled as a reindeer trying to do the limbo!

Armed with nothing but their festive spirit, a trusty book, and a sprinkle of holiday magic, Jack and Annie deck the halls of Camelot on a quest filled with yuletide cheer, medieval merriment, and maybe even a sleigh ride with King Arthur himself! Can they crack the code of Christmas and find the magic they seek before they're left feeling as cold as a snowman without a carrot nose?
