The Elves are AWOL

Christmas is fast approaching but this year, Santa has an issue, a supply chain issue! His elves have all gone awol! Twinkle, Buddy, and Gingersnap are either missing, confused or unable to help. How will Santa get all the presents made and packaged without his trusty Elves? He’s in a pickle!
