A Year in the Life of Santa Claus

Step behind the sleigh for a year-round journey through Santa’s workshop, reindeer games, and global Christmas traditions.

Through Christy Pliler’s illustrations, every page feels alive, blending behind-the-scenes wonder with global traditions in a way that sparks curiosity well past December.

A whimsical watercolor illustration of animals fishing by a lake at sunset. A lion with a bird on its head, a pink flamingo sitting on a chair with a fishing pole, a polar bear with a scarf, and a dog with a fishing pole, all engaging in fishing. A swan is standing in the water, and ducks are floating nearby. The background features colorful trees and a cloudy sky.

Not Your Usual Christmas Story

A cultural lens you don’t see in typical holiday stories, paired with Christy Pliler’s artwork that makes every page feel like part of a living tradition. It’s playful, thoughtful, and built to spark curiosity long after December.

Reflection

  • A radiant reinvention of Christmas storytelling..... thoughtful, global, and full of heart.

  • Nicholas Frost turns the myth of Santa Claus into a cultural atlas of wonder

  • A modern classic in the making... equal parts warmth, wit, and worldly wisdom.”

  • Both nostalgic and refreshingly new, Frost has given Santa a passport and a purpose.
