“The winter seems extraordinary in Moomin Valley so Moomintroll decides to stay awake instead of having his typical winter slumber. Moomintroll discovers that strange creatures wander amidst the snowdrifts in the midwinter darkness, and all the new hints imply that an eccentric guest is soon to arrive. This new guest is called Christmas and an astounded Moomintroll learns to experience the true meaning of this wonderful holiday.”
