“"...it treats the production as if it had to pass scrutiny with adult theatergoers. That is, it’s tight — beautifully timed, sung and acted by cast members you’ll see in shows for grown-ups around town giving equal if not greater effort, with a colorful set and costumes worthy of any stage."
- Manuel Mendoza, KERA and Dallas Morning News

When Mo Willems’ characters get together for the holidays, it’s bound to be the biggest extravaganza ever! The Unlimited Squirrels deck the halls and Elephant and Piggie come ready to celebrate! But will The Pigeon join in the festivities, or will he run all the way to the North Pole in search of the greatest gift ever? Terrific tunes, silly stories, goofy gifts, audience antics: it’s all in this brand-new musical party that sleighs!
