Snowball is a young bear who gets lonely one extremely cold winter when his parents say he can’t play outside. So what does he do? He sneaks out and gets lost, of course. It happens to be the night before Christmas Eve and Snowball accidentally finds Santa’s workshop. Suddenly, it’s covered by an avalanche! Now the story writes itself. Snowball’s parents find him and together they dig through an avalanche of snow to free Santa and his elves. How does Santa reward Snowball? You guessed right!
