When Christmas is canceled, the North Pole fights back.

President Grump has declared war on Santa, replacing Christmas with his own corporate holiday: Grumpmas™. No more free presents, no more magic—just ad-covered sleighs, premium gift subscriptions, and pay-to-play Naughty Lists. But there's one problem: Santa is real. And he's not happy.

As the belief grid collapses, unleashing rogue snowmen and mischievous Coal Gremlins, Santa and his elves must battle a high-tech corporate takeover of the holidays. With time running out, Sparkle Twinklebright, a no-nonsense elf with a clipboard of doom, and Snickers Janglefoot, a slingshot-wielding troublemaker, must fight off Grump's drones, Krampus's dark magic, and the rise of PHIL—the AI-powered groundhog who wants to reprogram every holiday forever.

Will the spirit of Christmas survive, or will Grumpmas™ crush the magic for good?

A fast-paced, hilarious holiday satire perfect for fans of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, The Santa Clause, and political absurdity.
