Overview

Cinnamon is a young reindeer who has waited her whole life to compete in the Reindeer Games in Claus Valley with her best friends Sugar, Sprinkles, Quill, Patches, and Teddy. But when an accident during training causes one of her antlers to break, Cinnamon feels different, embarrassed, and sure she no longer belongs. Overwhelmed by shame, she runs deep into the dark forest and becomes lost, while her worried friends and family search for her back home.​ In the forest, Cinnamon meets Prince, an older white reindeer who was teased when he was young but has learned to embrace what makes him unique. As Prince helps Cinnamon find her way home, she discovers that true strength comes from kindness, courage, and accepting herself just as she is. With the support of Santa, Mrs. Claus, her family, and friends, Cinnamon learns that being different is not something to hide-it is something to celebrate, and the Spirit of Christmas shines brightest when everyone is welcomed just as they are.
