"Northpole" is a holiday adventure never seen before on the network that will employ state-of-the-art CGI technology taking viewers right into the magical world of Santa's wonderfully enchanting hometown. "Northpole" is part of the network's annual "Countdown to Christmas," the #1 most treasured holiday destination by television viewers.

One young boy, Kevin (Charles), might have a chance if he can convince his protective mom, Chelsea (Thiessen), to rediscover the magic of the season. With a little added help from Kevin's charming teacher Ryan (Hopkins), a mysterious elf-like girl Clementine (Madison) and a gospel singer named Josephine (Glover), Kevin is determined to bring his mom in on the fun and prove that one small voice can change the hearts of many.
